EASY FREE ACTION YOU CAN TAKE:

The World Federation for Mental Health has allowed its main Congress to be taken over by psychiatric drug companies, the World Psychiatric Association, and other organizations promoting the globalization of human rights violations in psychiatry. WFMH refuses to disclose the amount of psychiatric drug company money going to the Assembly. This is the main place the World Bank is promoting its new "mental health division."
