PSYCHIATRISTS WON’T STOP INFLICTING ECT ON THEIR PATIENTS. BUT WE THINK SOME WELL-INFORMED LAWMAKERS WILL.
“One of the things that I’ve admired about CCHR is they are an active organization. They’re hands-on. And this is why we have legislation that will impact and change this culture.”
“Working closely with CCHR, my team was able to achieve human rights for children and adults with mental health problems for the first time ever in Mexico. It is the purpose of CCHR to protect the human rights of people against psychiatric abuse. Their activities should be supported worldwide.”
“We recognize CCHR for the many great reforms it has championed, which today protect individuals against cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment, and for its leadership role in raising public awareness so that dignity and human rights can be returned to all.”
As our groundbreaking documentary Therapy or Torture: The Truth about Electroshock will demonstrate in unforgettable detail, the numbers are staggering. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) victimizes 100,000 people a year. It has a death rate 50 times higher than the US murder rate. And now you know the $5.4 billion toll on the healthcare budget.
But you have the power to legislate ECT out of existence. And you won’t be going it alone. The Citizens Commission on Human Rights is the leading mental health watchdog. We’ve helped to get more than 300 laws passed that protect against psychiatric abuse.
Our documentary is free. But the lives it could save are priceless.
