Boycott Normal! Occupy the Mental Health Industry
Free thinkers unite in an international campaign to question how psychiatric corporations try to control us and our democracy through their enforcement of "normal," labeling, forced drugging and electroshock. [Updated 21 Jan. 2012]
Launch of Boycott Normal Campaign in Eugene, Oregon 10 October 2011.
Boycott Normal! Occupy the mental health industry!
MindFreedom International (MFI) calls on mental health consumers, psychiatric survivors and all allies to boycott what is mistakenly called "normal," especially to resist the American Psychiatric Association's plan for a fifth edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
DSM-5 would be the latest edition of what is widely known as psychiatry's “label bible.”
We challenge what is mis-labeled 'normal' and celebrate creative maladjustment and neurodiversity. Please join us!
Let's all unite and withdraw our cooperation from corporate psychiatry, and the deadly so-called normality it enforces!
You can participate from where ever you live, though if you can get to Philadelphia on Saturday, 5 May 2012, also known as "Five Five," please join us.
