Dignity of Elders: Carole Hayes-Collier

from Madness Radio · host Will Hall, Madness Radio

Why are nearly a third of all elders in nursing homes given anti-psychotic drugs, despite life threatening side effects? Are medications being used as chemical restraints? Can nursing homes be places of dignity — or should they be abolished? Carole Hayes-Collier was diagnosed schizophrenic at 19 and left to a lifetime of hospitalization. When she recovered, the abuses she witnessed inspired her to join the Gray Panthers and dedicate her life to elder rights and mental health. http://graypanthers.org http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119672919018312521.html http://www.canhr.org/stop-druggingThe post Dignity of Elders: Carole Hayes-Collier first appeared on Madness Radio.
