While defining the term mental health consumer, this section does not describe the wide differences in consumers, survivors and ex-patients (CSX). Just as trying to define a woman, man, person of race, sexual orientation, does not give much more than a stereotype...

Also, it assumes that people are currently receiving services, versus having had some treatment in their lives, or commonly considered to be someone who consumes, as many deny illness, as well as abilities...

Good points, there is a much larger Consumer/Survivor/Ex-Patient Movement article and the simplest thing might be to redirect to there. EverSince (talk) 15:21, 15 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
