NEW YORK—This week, an exhibit at 368 Broadway shows the dangerous treatments sometimes administered by psychiatrists. The exhibit will be open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. through Saturday.
The free exhibit will display it’s theme through different documentary video panels, and has a special focus on religious and racial minorities and drugs that are harmful to children.
“There are more than 9 million students on drugs like Ritalin and Adderal,” said Ms. Verlene Cheeseboro in the press release. She is the Harlem chairman of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, the organization that has put together the exhibit. She also stated that those kinds of drugs can sometimes be misused, resulting in addiction, and sometimes ending in death.
An example of the damaging ways in which the drugs can be used and that Cheeseboro mentions is the ways members of Falun Gong are persecuted in China, which includes using large doses of psychiatric drugs as a way of torture.
