ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

MindFreedom International

MindFreedom International is an organization that protects and fights for the rights of people with mental health conditions. Just like we all have a right to our own thoughts and feelings, MindFreedom believes that people with mental health conditions deserve to have control over their own minds and bodies.

They help people with mental health conditions find safe and effective treatment options that work for them. They also work to help people escape from harmful and abusive treatments, sometimes called "forced psychiatry", like locking people up in mental institutions against their will or giving them strong medications that they don't want to take.

At MindFreedom International, people can come together to share their experiences, support each other, and raise awareness of the struggles and challenges that come with having a mental health condition. By working together, they hope to break down the stigma associated with mental health and empower people to speak up for their own rights and freedoms.
