Adam Voss, psychiatric survivor

After being repeatedly placed in psychiatric institutions, Adam Voss remembered hearing about MindFreedom and decided to hop on a bus to join up. Three and a half days later, traveling the whole length of the USA, Adam arrived in July 2009 at the MindFreedom office in Eugene, where he was warmly welcomed. Adam’s experience with psychiatric coercion began in 2008 when he decided to dance outside the city hall in Lindsay, Ontario, Canada. Forcibly taken by police to a psychiatric ward, Adam endured forced psychiatric drugging with neuroleptic or "antipsychotic" drugs, an experience repeated three more times. Having read about the MFI Shield program Adam said, "I realized that by traveling to MindFreedom headquarters I would find the peer support and protection I couldn’t find in the mental health system or even within my own family."
