Thousands of individuals contact CCHR each year to
report psychiatric abuse and criminality, such as false imprisonment,
hospital fraud, sexual abuse and inhumane treatment and conditions
in psychiatric institutions. CCHR documents this and helps the abused
individual file criminal or other complaints with the proper authorities.
It also conducts investigations in wider psychiatric issues, such
as insurance fraud, high death rates reported in institutions, or
the fraudulent labeling of children as “mentallydisordered”
and drugging millions.
Over a decade, CCHR’s investigations led to the prosecution
of over a thousand psychiatrists, psychologists and mental health
workers. This has prompted legislators and insurance companies to
withdraw funding to criminal psychiatric practices, and to pass
laws to protect individuals from them.
Through CCHR’s achievements, thousands of psychiatric victims
have been rescued, patients have regained legal and civil rights,
mental health acts have outlawed the arbitrary use of electroshock
and psychosurgery and banned these savage practices on children,
and legislation has been enacted to ensure psychiatric rape of patients
is dealt with as a criminal offense. Many hundreds of survivors
of psychiatric treatment have been compensated tens of millions
of dollars for the damage they have suffered.
Thus, if you or someone you know is a victim of psychiatric abuse,
please contact us today or fill in our
online abuse form. You can also call
us at (716) 200-1400. All information is held with the strictest
of confidence.
