Why forced treatment with antipsychotics must be stopped

0

Episode 12. Professor emeritus Peter C Gøtzsche explains in 18 minutes with filmmaker Janus Bang that antipsychotics don’t have specific antipsychotic effects and don’t have relevant effects against psychosis. Forced treatment with antipsychotics is a serious and unacceptable human rights violation that kills and maims irreversibly millions of patients. This must be stopped.
