MIND is the leading UK mental health charity. This is their excellent guide to coming off psychiatric drugs, available at http://www.mind.org.uk/Information/Booklets/Making+sense/Making+sense+of+coming+off+psychiatric+drugs.htm http://snipurl.com/MINDComingOffGuide

Despite the intimidating title, this is a very clearly written report, with input from people who've been through the system, of what is know and not known about 'mental illness.'
