Outpatient Forced Psychiatry

More and more citizens are required to take super-powerful psychiatric drugs against their will while living in their own homes out in the community.

An increasing number of countries are using "community treatment orders" and other techniques that make our homes into wards, our neighborhoods into psychiatric institutions.
