Billions fund psychiatric drugs and brain interventions for veterans—yet suicides, overdoses, and violence rise. Experts call for safer, non-drug approaches that honor veterans' service instead of betraying their trust.

Despite $280 billion annually poured into psychiatric hospitals, forced treatment, and community programs, outcomes are abysmal. Governments must review costs and results before sinking more funds into failed systems.

More than 79 million Americans take psychotropics—millions abuse them, risking overdose—yet the $26 billion psychiatric drug industry's role in the failed war on drugs remains downplayed due to widespread misinformation.

Psychiatrists claim violent tragedies occur because perpetrators miss a mental health evaluation or stop taking drugs. The reality: psychiatric intervention often precedes harm, and psychiatrists cannot predict violent behavior.

U.S. and Europe are expanding coercive psychiatric practices rooted in eugenics, stripping individuals of liberty under vague labels and forced "treatments" condemned as violations and torture by international human rights law.

Communities deserve answers on the potential role psychotropic drugs and treatments may have in senseless acts of violence—an issue too long suppressed by vested interests.

Invasive mental health screenings risk false psychiatric labels, dangerous drugging, and erosion of parents' constitutional rights, while studies show no improvement in children's mental health outcomes.

Largest international study finds nearly 60% of electroshock recipients were misinformed about serious dangers, echoing CCHR's decades of evidence on violations of informed consent.

CCHR urges UN action to end coercive psychiatric practices, citing child abuse, restraint deaths, and lack of penalties for offenders.

Coercive mental health treatment endangers lives, drives up costs, and bypasses basic medical screening, watchdog group says.
