Chrissy -- a psychiatric survivor activist -- describe her

experiences with conventional mental health care, and what she feels

questions!

Introduction by Martin Rafferty, MFI Youth Outreach Coordinator:

As MindFreedom strides forward with its Youth Voices for Choices in

Mental Health Campaign some local youth leaders are standing up to take

leadership. Chrissy Peirsuol is just one of our youth who has stepped up

and now she is choosing to share her story in the mental health system

with you!

Chrissy is someone who hold her own opinion on medications. First

hand experience has shown her that some of her friends of felt that

psychiatric medications have helped. Yet she is discovering -- along with

the rest of public -- that much of the time these medications do horrible

wrong.

As a youth she herself was pressured and led by her support system to

take these powerful drugs, drugs that took away her ability to stay in

the sun longer then a few hours, drugs that changed her personality and

her life forever.

The MindFreedom News host is David Oaks, who also sums up the latest "Mad

News." In the 1970's David was a teenager in the psychiatric system

himself.
