BBC One - Disclosure, Kids on the Psychiatric Ward People need to watch this and demand immediate incorporation of UNCRPD and the progressive realisation of our human rights now, not in a decade's time, but now- or come to accept a psychiatric boot stomping on their face forever.

The awful truth is that despite a little occasional handwringing about how awful, abusive and cruel psychiatric services can be, nothing ever happens, nothing ever changes. If patient advocacy groups even exist in 20 years time, we'll probably be singing the same song to no avail

RT @RightfulLives: Sadly, none of this is new or surprising. Regular, careless abuse is a constant in these places and has been for years.…
