Citizens Commission on Human Rights: Mental Health Declaration of Human Rights (USA)

The Mental Health Declaration of Human Rights articulates the guiding principles of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights and the standards against which human rights violations by psychiatry are relentlessly investigated and exposed.

The Mental Health Declaration of Human Rights was created by Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) International, a mental health watchdog based in Los Angeles.

CCHR is responsible for helping to enact more than 180 laws protecting individuals from abusive or coercive practices. CCHR has long fought to restore basic inalienable human rights to the field of mental health, including, but not limited to, full informed consent regarding the medical legitimacy of psychiatric diagnosis, the risks of psychiatric treatments, the right to all available medical alternatives and the right to refuse any treatment considered harmful.

The Mental Health Declaration of Human Rights is found online at https://www.cchr.org/about-us/mental-health-declaration-of-human-rights.html. Under the banner of the Mental Health Declaration of Human Rights, tens of thousands of people around the globe have joined CCHR and taken to the streets to protest psychiatric drugging and other inhumane mental health practices.
