Madness And Disability Rights - Portland Oregon w/ Will Hall
Submitted by Icarus Project on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 8:01pm
Check out the flyer here.
The Icarus Project, Process Work Institute, and Mental Health Association of Portland present:
Madness and Disability Rights: A Community Forum on Mental Health
Extreme states of madness usually get labeled psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar, and treated with medications. What are different ways of understanding these experiences, and what are other options for helping people? What lessons can we learn from care in different countries?
Come discuss a disability rights view on madness and extreme states of consciousness. This perspective respects individual choice to take or not take medication, welcomes a diversity of treatment possibilities, and is open to different interpretations of the mysterious experiences we call “crazy.” We will also look at the economic and political forces influencing mental health.
Diagnosed with schizophrenia, presenter Will Hall is co-founder of Freedom Center, an award-winning peer-run support and advocacy community in Massachusetts. He is also on the collective of The Icarus Project, exploring art, creativity, spirituality, and political activism as alternatives to mainstream mental health care . He has traveled internationally in his work, including recent visits to Toronto Canada and Buenos Aires Argentina.

Special care
Special problems need special care. This right will enable those people who are suffering from this sort of problems. For example those who suffer from drug addiction they need special care treatment for that. These people get admitted to residential drug rehab center, where they get treated.
This is a vital issue
This is a vital issue which needs to be dealt with extreme care. More often than not we do not take issue of mental health seriously. But for those people who are suffering from certain disabilities and mental health problems, they do need special care. There are special treatment facilities for people suffering from different problems. For people suffering from drug related problems, there is drug rehab centers Arizona.
The abuse of substances can
The abuse of substances can also make one change his moods. At least that's what happened to a friend of mine, he was so bipolar that sometimes it seemed like he was a completely different person. It took drug treatment a to get him rid of that.

Individual choice to take or
Individual choice to take or not to kae medication should be respected but regulated in some cases of course. I don't want to start a debate or something but this is what freedom is all about right ? special cases could work under the old rules as for health nowadays we know it's more propaganda than actual service... only rich people can afford to do surgeries because medical insurance is too expensive for most common people. I would like to see more people preocupied with alternative health like using Kratom or similar products. Why don't they do that ? Not every pill is good for you, in fact most of them are actually real bad ! Take care !
