"I am now convinced that this transpartisan, grassroots mental health reform movement is, in fact, real."
Of all that’s happened this year—from growing recognition of psychiatric drug harms in mainstream outlets to calls for better informed consent and noncoercive options—nothing brought these shifts into sharper focus quite like our recent conference.
The conference brought these three groups—patients/former patients, clinicians, and other professionals—together in what I see as a Venn diagram: three overlapping circles with a small but bright field of convergence. Despite the broad demographics represented at the conference, the sense of coherence and alignment was palpable. I'm told that even watching the live stream, the feeling of group solidarity came through.
Your experiences, long sidelined or dismissed as the grievances of an unlucky few, are finally moving front and center.
