The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is a non-profit mental health watchdog, responsible for helping to enact more than 150 laws protecting individuals from abusive or coercive practices. CCHR has long fought to restore basic unalienable human rights to the field of mental health, including, but not limited to, full informed consent regarding the medical legitimacy of psychiatric diagnosis, the risks of psychiatric treatments, the right to all available medical alternatives, and the right to refuse any treatment considered harmful. CCHR’s list of accomplishments and reforms in eradicating abuse committed under the guise of “mental health” are listed here.

CCHR also provides information and resources on non-harmful medical solutions to addressing problems of mood, attention and behavior as part of its public educational campaigns, as well as a psychiatric drug side effects database and search engine created in order to give people the facts about psychiatric drugs (international drug regulatory warnings and studies).

It is through donations and memberships that CCHR is able to continue these free public services and educational campaigns. CCHR is a non-profit, 501 c 3 organization dedicated solely to eradicating mental health abuse and enacting patient and consumer protections. By making a tax-deductible donation to CCHR, you will be supporting the most dedicated and effective human rights organization fighting for reform in the mental health field today.
