Psychrights.com And The Zyprexa Papers: Fighting Battles For Psychiatric Rights With Jim Gottstein

Psychiatric rights continues to be a contentious issue as psychiatric drugging and other controversial treatments continue to be used in alarmingly increasing rates. This strikes a particularly painful chord for Jim Gottstein, who had personally experienced how abusive the psychiatric health system can be. Not long after his personal experience, he went on to become an advocate for people being subjected to involuntary commitment and forced drugging by launching litigation campaigns. He documents one particularly compelling story of how he helped one individual go through these hearings in his book, The Zyprexa Papers. Jim joins Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D. to explain in detail how he fought and won that landmark case. Tune in and take part in this conversation that opens our eyes to the realities of the psychiatric system and big pharma and how a few brave voices are fighting back.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join the On Your Mind Community today:journeysdream.orgTwitterInstagramFacebookYouTube
