Caccia to HWC Benoit Bouchard on misdiagnosis of CNS reactors

I would like to urge you again to develop and put in place a system for psychiatric screening that will prevent the abuse of the rights of individuals wrongfully incarcerated in mental institutions because they are mis-diagnosed. At the same time, individuals already in custody should be given reviews to determine if their mental illness derives from environmental sensitivities. The Allergy and Environmental Health Association has provided your Department with case histories of individuals who have been treated for the wrong illness because the symptoms they exhibit were mistakenly identified as being linked to a mental rather than physical disorder. There could be many more such people in federal and provincial penal and psychiatric institutions.
