There are so many pressing issues.
I have thought about starting a local support group for people who want to come off of psych meds. But I worry about legal issues so I would have to make sure that was covered.
But there are other issues that aren't about whether you are pro meds or anti meds. For example, it seems that many mental hospitals are punishment oriented vs. treatment oriented.

But I don't know if I honestly have the courage to take that on.
Anyway, good question for which I don't yet have an answer.
