Psychiatric Diagnoses Abuse
This Psychiatric Diagnosis Abuse Report Form is for your protection.
You can fill out this form and send it to your legal representative.
Anyone diagnosed with a psychiatric (mental) disorder and/or their parent or guardian has the right to informed consent before any treatment is undertaken. Unlike diagnoses for medical conditions, psychiatrists do not have blood tests or any other biological tests to ascertain the presence or absence of a mental illness. It is important to know that according to one medical manual, “Mental health professionals working within a mental health system have a professional and a legal obligation to recognise the presence of physical disease in their patients” and to rule out any physical condition causing “a patient’s mental disorder.”
Psychiatrists rarely conduct thorough physical examinations to rule out medical conditions, thereby misdiagnosing the patient. This can result in inappropriate and dangerous treatment, added to the fact that the real underlying medical condition is left untreated.
Further, if a psychiatrist asserts that your mental condition is caused by a “chemical imbalance” in the brain or is a neuro-biological disorder, you have the right to ask for the laboratory test or other test to prove the accuracy of that diagnosis
We therefore urge you complete the Psychiatric Diagnoses Abuse Report Form and return it to CCHR (London) PO Box 188 East Grinstead RH19 4RB
