#BanECT
“One fact about ECT:
It damages the brain. Period.
ECT should have been banned 50 years ago.”
— Dr. Norman Shealy, Neurosurgeon
Help Fight Psychiatric Human Rights Abuses!
What is CCHR?
What Is the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR)?
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is a nonprofit watchdog organization that investigates and exposes abuse in the mental health industry.
Report Abuse!
Why We Fight!
Often times people who seek help from psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health workers, are falsely diagnosed and forced to undergo unwanted and harmful psychiatric treatments, involuntary commitment or electroshock.

Parental Rights
It is a fundamental right of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their minor children. Important information relating to a minor child should not be withheld, either inadvertently or purposefully, from his or her parent, including information relating to the minor child’s health, mental health, well-being, and education.
A list of “Parental Rights” has been compiled using existing rights understood to be guaranteed to a parent so that all parents can easily know and understand their rights.
Psychiatry: An Industry of Death Museum
A leading proponent for exposing mental health atrocities ramps up its Florida presence with a facility that includes a Psychiatry: An Industry of Death museum and a targeted focus on psychiatric abuses both locally and throughout the world.
The museum presents the unvarnished history of psychiatry across fourteen audio-visual displays, each revealing another aspect of psychiatric abuse and violations of human rights.
You are invited to tour this museum. This entirely self-guided tour includes documentaries and displays of psychiatry’s most harmful treatments. It is the definitive resource on historical and contemporary psychiatric theories and practices.
The museum is free to the public and is open 7 days a week.

The answers are contained in this information kit, which is provided free to legislators, government officials, medical and legal professionals, and human rights and advocacy organizations.
“Psychiatry does not commit human rights abuse. It is a human rights abuse.”
