A catalyst for rethinking psychiatric care, scientific research
Mad in Canada is one of a growing group of Mad in America’s Mad in the World Network.
We believe the current paradigm of mental health care has failed our society and that scientific research, as well as the lived experience of those who have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, calls for profound change.
Mad in Canada is dedicated to providing a forum for progressive writing which reconsiders the public discourse on mental health in Canada.
Mad in Canada has created a short survey aimed at shedding light on the informed consent process experienced by adults who are living in Canada, and who have been prescribed antidepressants at some point in their life. Our survey is not about whether people should or should not take antidepressants. It’s about what people are being told about the potential effects of antidepressants, when they are prescribed.
Take the survey here!

Joku on saanut piirteitä sfinksiltä ja toiset kentaurilta.” Ainalan teokset edustavat […] Artikkeli Psykoosi ja surrealismi julkaistiin ensimmäisen kerran Mad In Finland - Hulluna Suomessa.
Klinikalltag
Morgens um sechs Uhr klingelt der Wecker, alles grau wie immer. Ich stehe auf und ziehe die Klamotten an, die ich schon seit Tagen trage. „Mal wieder duschen wäre nicht schlecht“, denke ich. „Ist doch egal“, sagen meine Stimmen im Kopf. Ich stolpere auf die Station. Alles noch im Tiefschlaf; die Nachtwache schließt mir die […]
