r/Antipsychiatry is a subreddit with 52k members. Its distinguishing qualities are that the community is large in size, and has high activity.
Discussion + counterprogramming against coercive psychiatry and the mental health industrial complex.
We think many psych diagnoses do not meet basic medical standards. We think many popular interventions can be more harmful than helpful. Survivor-led, but all are welcome here.
