Thanks Fiachra. This is the mission statement of MIA: “Mad in America’s mission is to serve as a catalyst for rethinking psychiatric care in the United States (and abroad). We believe that the current drug-based paradigm of care has failed our society, and that scientific research, as well as the lived experience of those who have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, calls for profound change.”
There are very large numbers of veterans in the US and elsewhere who are undergoing psychiatric care as a result of their exposure to mefloquine. Very few of them have been able to be properly diagnosed, hence they are being (mis)treated for “mental health” disorders with yet more psychiatric drugs when in reality they have brain injuries.

Mefloquine is “a psychotropic drug with incidental anti-malarial properties.”
