This group is protecting the most vulnerable of people from abuses by psychiatrists. CCHR is a worldwide mental health watchdog and has been highly effective in getting legislation passed in many countries to prevent abuses in the field of mental health.

It's a Scientology front group. It's ironic that the very things they insist they fight against are the very actions Scientology inflicts on thier members. The. Truth about this organization is slowly coming out.

I feel that CCHR is an amazing organization. I value their goal of informing and educating the public on facts about the psychiatric drugging of children and adults. It is critical to have this knowledge; it is our human right. Too many people are unaware of the actual dangers of the psychiatric drugs. I wish the organization was 100 times bigger. If I were to win the lottery I would certainly make a huge contribution to this organization because it saves many lives. Thank you CCHR for being there and helping others.

I was fortunate enough to visit CCHR Int Museum on psychiatry at the urging of one of my daughters who went with a friend to see it. I then began to Volunteer on a regular basis. One night a week I hostess at the Museum. I am always too tired to go after a full day of work but I do it anyway and in two years have NEVER been sorry I did. There is no other place like it, people are astounded by what they see and hear. It is the most truthful and caring group of individuals who work there coupled with the most direct and enlightening information. I have people THANK ME all the time for just being there to answer their questions. I feel blessed to be there for them. I have seen teenagers who have been told by their teachers and friends there is something wrong with them because they are too energetic, too neat, too organized, too creative - and get labeled ADHD, OCD and Bipolar and they learn about how these labels came about and just laugh; parents who have been intimidated into drugging their child or they will be kicked out of school and learn they have Rights, a man who was "certified" insane and locked up on and off for 7 years until he discovered he had an intestinal disorder that once corrected with surgery solved his mental ailments because his body could now absorb nutrition - he knew a full medical exam 7 years earlier would have saved him so much misery and found comfort at all the correct information being promoted to the public, a parent who was told her child was going on an art field trip only to discover in horror she was being tricked to signing a permission slip for her son to do art in front of a psych at a local hospital and be evaluated , with no dialog from his teacher that this is what she was bringing her class to do.. All these people have questions and the museum provides answers and a place where they can file an abuse report form if they feel it's warranted. To have a person come in and view the footage on electric shock and finally understand the brutal treatment an aunt or grandmother or friend had been through and realize they aren't intentionally behaving odd or unfeeling individuals, they are abused; and recently a young man came in and made the connection for the first time between his father's starting on psych drugs corresponding to his downward spiral and subsequent suicide, which then relieved him of the impending doom of his so called disease being hereditary! There is so much promotion of psychiatry in our daily world it is vital to have a voice of reason on the subject!!!

I am a regular donor to this organization. As a teacher in the past, their work and support relating to the safe and sane treatment of children I feel has been and continues to be world changing and vital. I have attended seminars they put on and sponsored that give parents and children solutions that are real to helping them achieve their potential. The work this organization does to raise awareness of violations of human rights in the past and present PLUS providing solutions is awe inspiring to me. This is an important group to support if we want to salvage this planet -- exposing the worst and bringing out the best in mankind.

I became aware of CCHR in 1996. I quickly learned of the actual illegal acts and crimes against humanity which psychiatry has committed, and they’re all horrors: illegal involuntary commitment, deadly physical restraints, lobotomies, electroconvulsive therapy (electric shock to the brain), coma-inducing sleep therapy, and damaging pharmaceutical drugging. Rape of patients by psychiatrists is common; many convictions have been made. Insurance fraud is rampant.
 
These acts have been all along psychiatry’s history, from its inception to the present.
 
An overwhelming percentage of school shootings, suicides, and other violent acts have been traced directly to the use of psychiatric drugs.
 
As time went on, I further learned of psychiatry’s role in wars; ethnic cleansing; affecting the justice systems of the world; and voting into existence, literally via a show of hands, new supposed mental illnesses. 'Psychiatrists-the Men Behind Hitler' was written about Germany’s masterminded maneuvering in World War II.
 
Indeed, as CCHR has made clear many times, psychiatry is far from a true science. All other medical fields have actual science to aid them: brain scans, blood tests, biopsies, and x-rays. Psychiatry, a branch of medicine, has none. Its proposed supposed chemical imbalance has no scientific basis. Psychiatrists admit to not knowing what constitutes a mental illness.
 
Today, countless psychiatrists and medical doctors are speaking out about the failures and dangers of psychiatry via books, lectures, videos, and blogs. The popular Dr. Mercola covers the topic regularly.
 
So, from 1996 to present, I have been a weekly donor to CCHR, and I have traveled to Washington, DC to visit the offices of members of Congress to aid their education of psychiatry.
 
CCHR has a long history in helping to create worldwide laws protecting citizens. It works tirelessly to inform the public of psychiatry's violations of human rights, and aids victims in seeking help.

These guys are on a mission, wow, what an amazing bunch of super-heroes! I was shocked, saddened, angered, and invigorated all at once when I toured through the very intense museum there on the Sunset strip over in Hollywood that really opened my eyes to just how wildly out of control the over-drugging of the children of our country has gotten! Thank you to the incredible staff of CCHR, you guys (and gilrs!) are each singularly a beacon of hope for the future generation, I will stand by and support you vigilantly in all your actions, I am blessed to be able to call myself a contributor to the likes of you!

CCHR is dedicated to exposing the seldom-discussed and often harmful roles of psychiatry and *the psychiatric medication sections* of Big Pharma.

Psychiatry and psychotropic drugs can ruin lives, force companies to pay to insure them, over-burden insurance companies, and even the economy by their hard-sell lobbying for tax dollars.

Only since CCHR started telling this story has any media attention come to this area, and that level of attention is still inadequate.

Personally, at first, I thought this effort was unnecessary. Then I began to count the number of people I personally knew whose lives had been actively harmed (in two cases, ruined) by psychiatrists' unethical use of psychotropic drugs.

When that count reached four people, it hit me that CCHR is necessary and beneficial.

This is merely a front group for Scientology. Also, they are completely crazy. Their number one goal is the "total obliteration of Psychiatry." They have a "Museum of Psychiatry" in Los Angeles, where they attempt to show that Psychiatrists caused the Holocaust, the African slave trade, and of course 9/11. They believe that lobotomies and electroshock therapy are done rampantly by "Psychs" around the world, every day. All of these assertions, of course, are nonsense.

"Human rights" is their code term for "wiping out psychiatry." That's their only goal. Well, I suppose their other goal is to recruit new Scientologists.
