Australian Consumer Patient Rights is a group that can support people who have concerns about their treatment or the treatment being given to their loved ones by the Mental Health Care Services provided by the Australian Government and their affiliated associations and sponsors.
We support both the Human and Legal Rights that are regularly violated by those in charge who are supposed to be providing “Health Care”.
This division of health care regularly ignores both the patient and their families right to choose and to be informed. It would appear that there is more concern about promoting treatment by way of “drug therapy” than there is for the safety and wellbeing of the patients, especially children. We are concerned about why they appear to be supporting the agenda and business profits of the pharmaceutical companies rather than the safety and wellbeing of the patients.
The current legislation within Australian is supposed to support the rights of patients, but what we have found is these laws are not regularly enforced and currently many of them are being reviewed to remove even more of your rights including those of your loved ones. We wish to support and provide advice and assistance to those who have had their rights violated and direct them to the appropriate services for help and advice.
We encourage your participation to support our group and welcome your contribution.
Australian Consumer Patient Rights is group founded by fellow parents and carers of victims of the Australian Public Health system. We as parents were never warned about the risks associated with these drugs and as a result many of us had to watch our loved ones many of whom were children being placed in psychiatric wards, where they currently conduct such treatment as Electric Shock Therapy. Children and young persons are regularly thrown into rooms referred to as seclusion, where the shutters are pulled down so there is no natural light, they have a mattress on the ground, and are not allowed visitors, they are not consulted by doctors other than to check their vitals. They are made to defecate in a cardboard box and then served their meals in the same room, the psychiatrists and hospitals refer to this as Therapeutic Treatment. Many people have been restrained in rooms like this for weeks on end and even though the United Nations recently announced this treatment was defined as torture, the Australian Government continues to allow this treatment in Our Public Hospitals.
As disturbing and unbelievable as this sounds just pick up a copy of your Mental Health Act and you will find this treatment in black and white written into our legislation and made a legal form of treatment.
Most parents are not warned about the risks or side affects and most are never told they are not approved. The doctors have a legal obligation to obtain your informed consent and informed consent means you are adequately warned about the risks. Based on scientific evidence the RISKS outweigh the BENEFITS for prescribing these drugs to children and if you are unfortunate enough to be allergic to these drugs it will not matter what age you are the RISKS will outweigh the BENEFITS.
In many cases the children are drugged for symptoms as simple as headaches, sleeping problems, mild anxiety, period pain, unexplainable pains that we used to refer to as growing pains and many more. Basically the guide to establish whether you actually require a psychiatric drug is deemed by the DSM designed this century which has appears to be growing every year. It articulates that many of the normal emotions our parents and their parents before experienced are now apparently Mental Health Symptoms and require unapproved and dangerous drug therapy.
Many of the High Profile Mental Health Organisations are promoting that the BENEFITS outweigh the RIKS yet what they fail to mention is there No Scientific Evidence to support these statements. It is nothing more than a slick PR Pitch which can be at the expense of your health and those you love. Fortunately for them they have the support of well named celebrities, from sports people through to newsreaders so nobody questions them.
You need to question them and demand to see the evidence and not from a psychiatrist who may very well be receiving generous bonuses or sponsorship from the pharmaceutical companies, but the evidence from independent Scientific Clinical Trial Data. Of course they will be unable to provide you with this information because it does not exist.
We want to ensure that all people, especially children have the right to be happy and healthy and do not have their health or the health and safety of those they love compromised by inappropriate and dangerous treatment options that ultimately are funded and supported by the Pharmaceutical Industry and driven by the DSM.
