Details
Mad Pride is a mass movement of mental health services users and their allies. The movement originated in the late 1990s, primarily in London and the United Kingdom, and Mad Pride events have since been organized around the globe, from Australia to South Africa and the United States, drawing thousands of participants, according to MindFreedom International, a United States mental health advocacy organization that promotes and tracks events spawned by the movement. Mad Pride activists seek to reclaim terms such as 'mad','nutter' and 'psycho' from misuse, such as in tabloid newspapers. Through a series of mass media campaigns, Mad Pride activists seek to re-educate the general public on such subjects as the causes of mental disorders, the experiences of those using the the mental health system, and the global suicide pandemic. One of Mad Pride's founding activists was Pete Shaughnessy, who later committed suicide.
