ORLANDO, Fla. - EntSun -- Hundreds of concerned Floridians toured an exhibit highlighting the history of psychiatry and exposing mental health abuse this week in Kissimmee. The exhibit, "Psychiatry: An Industry of Death", travels all over the world reaching tens of thousands of people annually. Designed to raise awareness on such human rights abuse as the use of electroshock, involuntary examination and the drugging of children with dangerous psychiatric medications, the exhibit is based on the permanent museum located at the international headquarters for CCHR in Los Angeles, California.

Hosted by the Florida chapter of CCHR, an award-winning nonprofit that exposes abuse in the mental health industry, in partnership with the Boomtown Community Partners (BCP), a cornerstone of community engagement in Central Florida, the exhibit attracted people from all walks of life.

During a special presentation recognizing the co-founder of BCP, Isaac "Coach Boom" Vasquez, for his work to help youth, the president for CCHR Florida, Diane Stein, stressed that this exhibit imparts real understanding of the roots of psychiatric abuse, resulting in those who need help receiving real help and not coercive treatment such as involuntary examination or dangerous treatment such as drugs and electroshock.

Other than California, Florida is the only state that has a permanent installation of the "Psychiatry: An Industry of Death" exhibit. Located in the CCHR Center in downtown Clearwater, the museum exhibit was unveiled in July of 2015. Presenting the unvarnished history of psychiatry while also providing information on the state of psychiatry today, the exhibit consists of 14 audiovisual displays revealing the cold, hard facts about psychiatric abuses using interviews from more than 160 doctors, attorneys, educators and survivors to expose the multi-billion dollar fraud that is psychiatry.
