Law Project for Psychiatric Rights
The Law Project for Psychiatric Rights has a mission to bring fairness and reason into the administration of legal aspects of the mental health system, particularly unwarranted court ordered psychiatric drugging. The public mental health system is creating a huge class of chronic mental patients through forcing them to take ineffective, yet extremely harmful drugs. The purpose of the Law Project for Psychiatric rights is to promote and implement a legal campaign in support of psychiatric rights and against unwarranted court ordered psychiatric medication akin to what Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP mounted in the 40's and 50's on behalf of African American civil rights.

This factsheet examines issues of: access to and availability of rural mental health services; the role of rural primary care providers; depression and aging; substance abuse and mental illness; and rural service delivery strategies.
