What can you do

t is not enough to simply be aware of waste, fraud and crime. It is up to everyone to do something about it.

      You can report psychiatric fraud and crimes to the appropriate authorities. You can help a family member, friend or acquaintance who is being subjected to forced drugging, emotionally or physically violent treatment, sexual assault or any of the other forms of abuse which have become commonplace in the psychiatric industry.

      The following is a list of things an individual can do and whom to notify:

Report crimes

      If you have knowledge of a crime by a psychiatrist or "mental health professional," report full details immediately to your local police, sheriff or district attorney's office.

      In cases of billing or insurance fraud, provide details to the district attorney, to the nearest office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or to the closest Medicare/Medicaid Fraud Unit of the U.S. Justice Department. You can also report such instances to:
