HAVE A HEART!
The methods that are employed by psychiatry, and imposed onto those who experience emotionally vulnerable and volatile states, are often inhumane. In the clinical environment our requirements and needs are not met and our pleas, cries, explanations and experiences are invalidated and recorded as symptoms. To ensure individuals do not stray too far from the limited and restricted parameters that define the 'norm', psychiatry implements: Incarceration, physical restraints, pain compliance techniques, forced drugging, compulsory electro convulsive 'therapy', psychosurgery, coercion and brainwashing.
All of which demonstrate the defectiveness rather than the effectiveness of psychiatric treatment. The disturbances we may experience in our lives is exacerbated and increased many-fold by the aggressive insensitivity and gross inhumanity of such methods. Those who are subjected to these treatments are often damaged and traumatised by them. We call for urgent and radical reform of the 'mental health' system, and an immediate end to psychiatric assault. THIS IS A HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE!
After our succesful London March a new event has been planned for Manchester! Starting with a bed push from Bradford to Manchester on the 13th July. The main event will kick off at 1:00pm on Thursday 14th July 2005. It is going to be a stay in one place demo on Piccadilly Gardens in the center of Manchester accompanied by a samba band! Suggested costumes include wearing a doctors white coat, dressing up as giant syringes or wearing a straightacket.
