To understand mental health misinformation, we need to go directly to its sources, which lie within the wellness community, anti-psychiatry movement, and mental health professions themselves.
I decided to stop-by one such source on my holidays to take a photo that appeared in my latest book, Mind the Science.
This is the CCHR’s "museum" in downtown Los Angeles, California.
The CCHR is a front group for the cult of Scientology.
It was founded in 1969 by anti-psychiatry hero Thomas Szasz and science-fiction writer/founder of Scientology L. Ron Hubbard.
They spend millions in anti-psychiatry propaganda promotion.
So yeah, maybe it’s weird—but no weirder than someone downloading my vacation photos to their computer for the purpose of making personal attacks. 🤷🏻♂️😊✌️

Day One of the IAS gala was drenched, and more weather is on the way for the Patrons Ball as #Scientology once again holds its big tent party in Sussex. Alex Barnes-Ross organized another protest, and joined us after to record today's Group Therapy! tonyortega.substack.com/p/st…

Saint Hill Rd 23rd to 26th October - West Sussex Highways have introduced a temporary speed restriction due to the anticipated level of increased pedestrian and driver activity connected to the Church of Scientology's annual event at their Saint Hill headquarters.

So how does setting up an annual event at a specific venue sustain the local economy of East Grinstead to the tune of 6.96m - have you seen the town centre lately?
Apostate Alex retweeted
The Scientology abuse protesters are marching on, with a police escort. What a day for it! Live on YouTube.

I would be very interested to understand where the 6.96m of economic growth has landed in East Grinstead as a result of an annual 3 day event. The church does donate to good causes but that is not the same as economic growth sustaining the town's economy.

Local News: Church of Scientology plans for car park formally approved. (Argus) theargus.co.uk/news/26660793…
And so the media frenzy begins... theargus.co.uk/news/26660793… @brightonargus
Just a reminder.
What sort of religion abuses a person relentlessly and offensively on social media, for opposing the abuse that he and others suffered while in their care? Should any such organisation hold a position in our society, let alone influence our local government? Think on @egcouncil.

According to MSDC it would not be in the public interest to take action over the repeated (4 years running) ignoring of planning regulations. Define "public" in this context please @MSDCnews, it is certainly not in the interest of the COS to comply, but what about the habitat?
Outrageous. How many more free passes are the Council going to give this organisation? Flagrant disregard for the rule of law. @CllrJRussell46 @mimsdavies @AboutEG
Mid-Sussex District Council have found Scientology to be in breach of planning laws for the fourth year in a row, but say taking action "not in the public interest" scientologybusiness.com/gove… #EastGrinstead @AboutEG
5 days until the UK's biggest #Scientology protest in #EastGrinstead. Join us! youtube.com/live/NQt2X0P1A94 #WeMarchOn
