How do mental health corporations get away with massively over-drugging people, even forcibly… and then charging taxpayers?

What is it like to get a court order to report from your own home to a clinic for an involuntary electroshock, right here in the USA?

What is the latest news about the international social change movement to challenge psychiatric industry corruption and abuse? 

What humane alternatives work better than this abuse? 

Guest Marcia Meyers of Portland, Oregon is an activist with the Unitarian Universalists who is organizing a fair for mental health justice in Portland, Oregon in May. 

Guest Ray Sandford experienced ongoing involuntary outpatient electroshock, the same fate awaiting MindFreedom member Elizabeth Ellis, who yesterday was transferred to Anoka psychiatric institution. Ray and Elizabeth have both had forced shock in Anoka, and Ray will tell us what it is like. 

Host: David Oaks, director, MindFreedom International.

For Elizabeth Ellis campaign to stop her forced outpatient electroshock, and photo click here. 

 

Ray Sandford [photo on right] is a survivor of involuntary outpatient electroshock.

Each Wednesday morning he was woken up, and under court order escorted to an institution for another forced electroshock over his expressed wishes. But a MindFreedom International campaign won international attention, and stopped his forced electroshock. Ray regularly ‘checks in’ on the show to thank people, and let everyone know he’s doing well. Every day he’s done well since his last electroshock, proves his shock doctors were wrong. Ray just turned 58 on 2 January 2011.
