From Privileges to Rights: People Labeled with Psychiatric Disabilities Speak for Themselves

This report by the National Council on Disability contains everything that the Surgeon General's Report on Mental Health did not: how the services provided by the current drug and shock-oriented mental hell-th system are perceived by the recipients of these services (the ultimate judges of whether such services are helpful or not), and their recommendations for much-needed change.

From the Conclusion of the report: "Deprivation of human and civil rights cannot be tolerated in a country that was founded on the premise that everyone is created equal. The term "liberty and justice for all" must be underscored and applied for people labeled with psychiatric disabilities.
