Reasons for the Game:
Many individuals, throughout the world, are given a mental health or behavioral health label, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Bipolar. What they are not told is that Psychiatrists at an American Psychiatric Association convention were asked, “Are there any medical or scientific tests for psychiatric disorders?”
The answer, one-for-one, was “NO”. (see “No Science No Cures “ video online)
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights of Florida helps to educate individuals about their right NOT to be labeled.
