THE NEW MEDIA is proving of vital importance in the dissemination of the truth about psychiatry. Advocates for the victims of mental health are growing in number and in strength as they discover, sometimes with amazement, that they are not alone in decrying the horrors of psychiatric abuses. So too, the socially disenfranchised victims of psychiatric abuse now have a means by which they may tell their stories. That they often find it difficult to give voice to their thoughts and feelings makes it all the more vital that they be heard.
REMEMBER that the psychiatric survivors who express themselves on these sites are the lucky ones who retain enough of their cognitive faculty to be able to express themselves at all. It is the silent millions, incapacitated and slaughtered in the name of psychopharmaceutical profits, that we must ultimately heed lest we too join them in their silence.
