• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I have been corresponding with the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) to protect myself from health treatments that are against my personal convictions as a Christian. I personally do not believe in psychiatry, but realize people on this forum may believe in psychiatry so you might not agree with my view. I was wondering however if anyone has any experience working with them to report psychiatric abuse?

If people have widely differing assumptions about the nature of human person - and those who acknowledge the Creator will surely have different ideas from radical secularists - then it will likely impact the whole area of psychological and psychiatric studies: this is not to deny the strong expertise of practitioners in these fields - some of them with differing outlooks - but this is simply a fact.

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm not really looking to debate. I know that there are mental health organizations with different views, for example NAMI is one organization that has differing views compared to CCHR.

As far as acknowledging a Creator, personally I have visited the Creation Museum that was built by Answers in Genesis, and plan to visit again soon because they opened a new exhibit called the Ark Encounter.
