With one in four Americans currently taking psychiatric drugs, including over 400,000 children ages 0–5, most remain unaware of their inherent dangers. A partial list of reported side effects includes suicidal ideation, anxiety, violence, depression, psychosis, hallucinations and death. In fact, patients taking psychotropic drugs are nearly six times more likely to kill themselves.

And despite the FDA admitting to electroshock (ECT) causing cardiovascular complications, memory loss, cognitive impairment, brain damage and death, about 100,000 Americans receive ECT every year. Further, psychiatrists confess they do not know how ECT “works.”

Scientology Network’s World Mental Health Day marathon will be dedicated to educating the public on psychiatric abuses and corruption worldwide and is a call to action to help eradicate the crimes of the psychiatric industry.

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is a nonprofit mental health watchdog committed to help put an end to the criminal practices of the psychiatric industry around the world. To date, CCHR and its partners have helped enact more than 320 laws protecting individuals from abusive practices.

World Mental Health Day Marathon will feature:

CCHR documentaries—an ongoing investigative series taking on the powerful and well-funded psychiatric interest groups to expose the truth about the marketing of dangerous psychotropic drugs and the industry’s terrifying history. The films included are:

Voices for Humanity—the only ongoing television series dedicated to those working in the streets, schools and communities to spread the message of human rights, educate communities on the dangers of drugs and combat psychiatric abuse.

The World Mental Health Day marathon starts October 10 at 8 a.m. ET.

Learn the truth about the psychiatric industry. Visit cchr.org for more information, and see the full marathon schedule at Scientology.tv/schedule.
