Is anyone familiar with the above organization and if so, what are your thoughts?
I have never seen anything about it, but from first glance, to me it looks like a pretty reactionary organization. My son visits the Psychrights.org website, which is a source for him for arguments against taking his medication. Not helpful.
Very bad organization for people with psychiatric issues - its part of scientology - who opposes all forms of psychiatric treatment. People with schizophrenia who get involved with scientology tend to die at high rates, if the news stories are any indication.
I wouldnât listen to anything they say - its all extremely biased against psychology and psychiatry.
I think the issues may stem from the founder of the âreligionâ having been diagnosed as having schizophrenia - and he didnât like that.

Was aware of the two being affiliated (hence the red flag in my mind) but didnât realize the degree of connection. Thanks for the heads-up!
Oh no! Thatâs not helpful. Ugh
Wow! I knew I didnât care for the antipsychiatry groups, didnât know about the Scientology connection. I did see something on the ID channel on TV about Scientology and schizophrenia where the mother was murdered by her very ill son, so so horrible and sad and unnecessary!
And yes, thanks for the heads up!
Iâm sorry I know Iâm posting too much, this is the documentary I was talking about.
