WARNING MEXICO STATE OF PSYCHIATRIC ABUSE
Citizens Commission on Human Rights brought their hard-hitting Psychiatry: An Industry of Death exhibit to Toluca, the capital of the State of Mexico, alerting the community to experimental psychiatric treatments and the damage they cause. These treatments include the practice of labeling normal behavior as “disorders” and administering psychiatric drugs to children and teens despite many of these drugs having “black box” warnings including suicide and death.
The exhibit was opened by the mayor of Toluca, who encouraged his constituents to find out more about these and other abusive psychiatric practices to protect themselves and their families. Also attending were the city’s bishop and the state’s human rights commissioner.
Subsequently toured by more than 3,600 Toluca residents, the exhibit educates, informs and provides guidance to lawmakers, members of the medical profession, human rights advocates and the general public. The exhibit’s purpose is to encourage people to take action to report and prosecute psychiatric fraud and crime and bring about needed reform.
Rare photos, documentary films and the multimedia exhibit provide a vivid overview of the history and current state of psychiatry. This includes graphic displays of psychosurgery, forced restraints and sadistic psychiatric treatments such as high-voltage electroshock and prefrontal lobotomy.

“I saw this documentary [The Hidden Enemy] air on the Scientology Network and found it eye-opening. I have a 32-year-old friend who was in the air force and then put on a bunch of psychiatric drugs and even institutionalized. She is now out of that facility and weaning off the drugs. I would love to watch it with her and give her the DVD to share with her vet friends.”
