The coalition IS for anyone who advocates for positive mental health healing with minimal or preferably no medications.  There is no formal membership.  Just a message now and then about some great musicians and interviews. It is just people who advocate for a more positive way of treating mental health than harmful drugs.

What do I advocate for?

Good nutrition is important. Many "disorders" are caused by our poor nutrition. As with a computer, junk goes in, junk comes out. Exercise, Meditation, Mindfulness, and Pranayama Yoga promote a positive mental state and flood the brain with the chemicals that psychiatric medications suppress.

I have also discovered through talking with multitudes of therapists and other talking professionals as well as working with mentally ill people in crisis, myself that rich relationships are very important to positive mental health. 

Why? It is important to get out of your own head and think of others. It is also important to devote one's self to a cause bigger than one's self. When a person sits around all day focussing on their own lives that magnifies the issues in their lives they view as negative and colors their world view, which in people with mental disorders is always negative causing more isolation.

When you get involved with people who moralize, criticize, verbally attack you, and never seem to have time for you, that is toxic to your attitude and your mental health. We are social creatures, we need positive relationships. We do become like those we spend time with. 

If we hang around toxic people we become toxic people ourselves and it happens so slowly we don't even realize it because we see that kind of behavior as the norm. How many toxic relationships do you maintain and how toxic are you? Do you "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you". 

MEDICATION WILL NEVER REPLACE  POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS 

The medical model does not encourage positive human relationships as they tell you your adverse thinking is a problem with your brain and that you need medication to fix it, which has never been proven after decades of trying. Trials are not made available and the negative reports are often covered up or ignored.

There are other methods that work just as well or better without the side effects. The drug company propaganda has people afraid to talk about other, more effective, safer methods. Drugs are easy and cheap (and highly profitable) but in the long run, shorten your life, affect your relationships,  bring stigmatization and ridicule, and cause psychosis, suicidal ideations, depersonalization, and more isolation.

How often do you hear or tell others, "Go Take Your medication" or "It must be medication time" or "You take medication, how can we believe you?". Many professionals who depend on their reputations are loath to admit they have a disorder or take medications because once you have a diagnosis no one puts any stock in what you have to say because they have this distorted idea that people with even mild disorders are not credible.

Please pursue the research links below for confirmation of the shortfalls of psychiatry and medications, not that there are not some good psychiatrists out there, holistic ones, who work with you to create a more positive lifestyle, rather just push drugs because it is less expensive than a good therapist, of which there is a huge shortage of in this country and why governments promote the medical model.

The list of disorders for normal adverse events everyone has to deal with is growing. The help that is available out there if you don't have money is minimal, and at present, in the mental health industry, there is a huge shortage of professionals who can act as a village elder and help you through your negative situations and help you reframe your situation to make those events feel less traumatic like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists.

It is a shame that maintaining good mental health these days depends on money because of the way economic issues are used by governments to divide people and we don't develop deep relationships anymore because we are too busy trying to survive. We all need each other. If we had compassionate friendships we could depend on we would not have a need to pay professionals for what rich relationships can provide for free. 

Psychiatric Medications have very detrimental side effects. Brain Chemistry controls the body and like any machine, if you mess with one part of the machine it affects all the other parts.

Side Effects -  Akathisia, Tardive Dyskinesia, Diabetes, and other metabolic disorders, Psychosis, False Mania, Suicidal Ideations, Sexual Dysfunction, Cardio Vascular Issues, Brain Damage, Parkinsonian Symptoms,   hallucinations, and depersonalization, and sudden death.

I had to check multiple sources to get the above list because many in the medical model-based industry do not talk about the the negative side effects because if they did no one would take the drugs. There is very little REAL informed consent in the medical model based industry, which is illegal. 

I suggest you record your doctor when you talk about the side effects because they will put in their notes they told you and you need to be able to prove they did not. Many will not allow you to record your sessions. The drug companies coach doctors on informed consent and many doctors, themselves, are not aware of all the worst side effects or the new ones coming out the last few years. Studies on the long term side effects and long term trials are suppressed by the industry. 

Talk to a lawyer, they will not take a case against drug manufacturers anymore nor will they take cases of medical malpractice concerning drugs and informed consent. It is criminal, there is no recourse. I have talked to hundreds of lawyers and they are just not interested unless you have 50,000 to 100,000 dollars to start a case. Lawyers are mercenaries, they care very little for justice.

THERE IS A BETTER WAY that has produced miraculous results, better than with drugs. People are healing without the detrimental side effects in weeks and months as opposed to being prescribed dangerous drugs for a lifetime.
