The KIss It! XX Petition against psychiatric assault

To:  The British government

Have a heart and make meaningful true reforms to the current 'mental health' system.

The methods that are employed by psychiatry and imposed onto those who experience emotionally vulnerable or volatile states are often inhumane and damaging.

In the clinical environment our requirements and needs are rarely met. Our pleas, cries, explanations and experiences are invalidated and recorded as symptoms.

To ensure individuals do not stray too far from the limited and restricted parameters that define the 'norm', psychiatry currently implements..................................................................

Incarceration, physical restraints, pain compliance techniques, forced drugging, compulsory electro convulsive 'therapy', psychosurgery, coercion and brainwashing.

..................... all of which demonstrate the defectiveness rather than the effectiveness of psychiatric treatment.

The disturbance we may experience in our lives is exacerbated by the aggressive insensitivity and gross inhumanity of such methods. Those who are subjected to these treatments are often damaged and traumatised by them.

Proposed changes to the Mental Health Act will only serve to perpetuate and legitimise cruel, abusive and damaging practices.

We call for a truly consultative radical reform of the 'mental health' system and ultimately an end to hidden psychiatric assault.

This is a human rights issue which we believe is worth fighting for.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
