flag CCHR demands a congressional audit of U.S. mental health research, citing billions in wasted funds, poor outcomes, and ethical concerns despite rising mental health crises.

flag The Citizens Commission on Human Rights International (CCHR) says billions in U.S. mental health research funding, primarily through the NIH and its NIMH division, has yielded poor results despite rising suicide rates and mental health disabilities. flag CCHR highlights over $100 million in annual research waste, including unpublished clinical trials—such as 137 child-focused studies with $362 million in funding—along with extensive animal experiments involving severe distress and high failure rates in translating results to humans. flag Critics, including former NIMH director Thomas Insel and Senator Rand Paul, question the biomedical model’s effectiveness and point to growing risks from psychiatric medications, including links to ALS. flag CCHR is calling for a congressional audit to address transparency, ethics, and lack of measurable public health gains.
