MindFreedom Campaign: "Youth Voices for Choices in Mental Health"
MindFreedom’s youth campaign has made another step into the digital
world. MindFreedom Youth Coordinator Martin Rafferty joined together
seven different youth, with very different backgrounds, on a panel.
Most youth had labels pasted on them by the mental health care system
and were prescribed many psychiatric drugs. Others escaped
psychiatric attention. Each youth was asked to share their unique
opinion about the current state of the mental health system.

Massachusetts Mental Screening of Youth May Lead to More
Today's Boston Globe has a front page story about how nearly 500,000
Massachusetts youth on Medicaid will be required, starting Monday, to
undergo psychiatric screening. Experts are concerned this will lead
to lots more youth on psychiatric drugs without adequate advocacy,
alternatives, information or rights.
