Mad pride
Mad Pride emerged at the end of the 20th Century primarily in London, UK, as a mass movement of mental health services users and their allies. It seeks to reclaim the terms "mad", "nutter", "psycho" and so forth from the hysterical tabloid media, and through a series of mass media campaigns to re-educate the general public on such subjects as the causes of mental "illness", the real victims of the mental health system, and the global suicide pandemic.
