Citizens Commission on Human Rights Helping Parents Understand their Rights

Mental health watchdog Citizens Commission on Human Rights recently participated in an event called Parent University, where they educated parents on their rights.

Psychotropic drugs are increasingly being exposed as chemical toxins with the power to kill, according to CCHR.org. Psychiatrists claim their drugs save lives, but according to their own studies, psychotropic drugs can double the risk of suicide. And long-term use has been proven to create a lifetime of physical and mental damage, a fact ignored by psychiatrists.

Common and well-documented side effects of psychiatric drugs include mania, psychosis, hallucinations, depersonalization, suicidal ideation, heart attack, stroke and sudden death. Not only that, but the US Food and Drug Administration admits that probably one to ten percent of all the adverse drug effects are actually reported by patients or physicians.

Because of these facts and more, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) Nashville Chapter recently participated at Parent University to help educate people, especially parents, on their rights. CCHR brought resources on this topic to share the facts with parents and help them understand what to do if their child is diagnosed with a mental illness.

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 over 48 years ago.
