Mad in America, Inc. is a publishing company that is focused on providing a forum for those interested in rethinking psychiatry, and our current drug-based model of care. On our website, we feature reports of new scientific findings, access to source documents, video interviews, and blogs by writers who are interested in exploring this topic.
The bloggers on our site include people with lived experience of psychiatric diagnosis and treatment, family members, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, managers of treatment programs, social activists, attorneys, and journalists. While their opinions naturally vary, our writers share a belief that today’s mental health system needs to be vastly improved, and, many would argue, entirely transformed.
The Mad in America website encourages readers to join the discussion by commenting on blogs and news items, and submitting personal stories and op-ed submissions. We also encourage our readers to visit our forums to further this discussion.
Finally, Mad in America commissions original journalism, both in video and print, that reports on alternative forms of treatment and investigates our current system of care.
