Talk Truth 06.02.23 - Rob Wipond

On this episode of Talk Truth, we dive into our guests personal experience with mental health laws and how it inspired him to investigate civil rights in the mental health system. Rob's father, a retired college professor, was detained against his will and subjected to ineffective treatments, including electroshock therapy. This experience sparked Rob's interest in advocating for mental health patients and investigating the rise in psychiatric detentions, forced treatment, and abuse of guardianships without consent. We explore the importance of family positioning and the influence it can have on doctors, as well as the concerning trend of broadening mental health laws across North America.
