Mental health watchdog
Citizens Commission on Human Rights distributed materials to music lovers
attending a major two-day festival.
Mental health abuse doesn’t discriminate. Many different types of
people have suffered it at the hands of psychiatrists they thought they could
trust. So the Nashville Chapter of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights
(CCHR) has been on an all-out effort to reach everyone with the facts.
Most recently, volunteers had a booth at the Pilgrimage Music and
Arts Festival. The Pilgrimage Music and Arts Festival is a rootsy two-day event
held just south of Nashville that is now in its second year, according to Rolling
Stone Magazine. The Tennessean says it is “shaping up to be one of the
South’s premier festivals.”
CCHR was at the festival distributing information about the common
and well-documented side effects of psychiatric drugs, which include mania, psychosis,
hallucinations, depersonalization, suicidal ideation, heart attack, stroke and
sudden death.
CCHR is a non-profit, non-political, non-religious mental health
industry watchdog whose mission is to eradicate abuses committed under the
guise of mental health. It works to ensure patient and consumer
protections are enacted and upheld as there is rampant abuse in the field of
mental health. In this role, CCHR has helped to enact more than 150 laws
protecting individuals from abusive or coercive mental health practices since
it was formed five decades ago. For more information on CCHR, visit
