High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The psychiatric survivors movement (more broadly the psychiatric consumer/survivor/ex-patient movement) is a diverse association of individuals who are either currently clients of mental health services (`consumers` or in the UK `service users`), or who consider themselves survivors of interventions by psychiatry, or who identify themselves as ex-patients of mental health services. The movement typically campaigns for more choice and improved services, and/or empowerment and user-led alternatives, and against prejudice in society more generally. Common themes are "talking back to the power of psychiatry", rights protection and advocacy, and self-determination. While activists in this movement may share a collective identity, individuals can be seen as enacting their concerns along a continuum from conservative to radical, according to their position in relation to psychiatric treatment and their relative levels of resistance and patienthood. This can in turn relate to an individual`s experiences of the mental health system, particularly if subject to Involuntary commitment and/or forced medication or electroshock.
