The Mad Hatters of Bath are celebrating World Mental Health Day this October.

October 10th 2008 WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY

Starting at 1pm, Friday 10th October 2008   St Ann’s Hospital, Tottenham  N15 3TH

The Mad Hatters of Bath will be taking the Normality Testing Machine to London to join Rufus May and the Bed Push Crew as we escape from oppressive psychiatry. We will be honouring the life of Daniel Galvin 1979-2008 who died of a heart attack after 5 years of taking the dangerous psychiatric drug Olanzapine.  We will also be raising awareness of the use of coercive and compulsory medication in the treatment of mental distress.

Join us for cabaret and cake at the summit of Parliament Hill to greet the bed push around 4pm and
reclaim your right to be not normal.


We are MFI



Dorothy Dundas

While institutionalized for three years as an adolescent in the 1960's, MindFreedom member Dorothy Washburn Dundas was labeled a "schizophrenic" and forced to undergo 40 combined insulin coma-electroshock "treatments." Dorothy says, "I experienced and witnessed many atrocities. I believe that luck, determination, and my own anger and one compassionate advocate were my best friends on the road to my ultimate survival and freedom." Through a number of op-ed pieces, she has voiced her opposition to abusive psychiatric practices. Her poster, "Behind Locked Doors," which she created from her hospital records, is used in training programs. Dorothy lives in the Boston area where she has raised her four wonderful children. She founded and is the sole driver in her "safe, friendly and reliable" car service called The Crystal Lake Express.
