What ANTI-PSYCHIATRY really is,
and what we believe as #Abolishionists! Not what you’ve probably heard.
Setting the record straight about what it means to be Anti-Psych!
We Believe:
⦁ That psychiatry is not a legitimate field of medicine.
⦁ That psychiatry is a tool of social control which enforces conformity to the prevailing social order.
⦁ That "mental illness" is a semantically absurd concept which falsely conflates the abstraction known as the "mind" with the physical brain to mislead people into believing they have literal diseases.
⦁ That the psychiatric system cannot be reformed but must be abolished.
We Demand:
⦁ An end to all forced psychiatric procedures and "treatments," including but not limited to incarceration, solitary confinement, physical restraints, drugging, and electroshock.
⦁ An end to all state support for psychiatry, including but not limited to the use of psychiatric testimony in legal proceedings; psychiatric screenings in schools, prisons, and workplaces; licensing of psychiatrists; and the use of public monies to support psychiatric programs or research.
We Assert -- and plan to exercise -- our right as an oppressed class to self-determination.
