APRIL - Adverse Psychiatric Reactions Information Link

Web: www.april.org.uk

Adverse Psychiatric Reactions Information Link (APRIL) is a registered UK charity. APRIL aims to:

  • Raise awareness of psychiatric adverse drug reactions. Awareness could prevent unnecessary distress and in some cases, save lives.
  • Establish a database of adverse drug reactions, with information from users, physicians, surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses, pharmacists, doctors, research papers and medical literature.
  • Raise funds to sponsor research into why some people are vulnerable to these reactions.
  • Obtain expert guidance and publish information on the best way to help the unfortunate people who do suffer from psychiatric ADRs.
  • Compile a dictionary of drugs with a known risk to mental health either for people with a previous history or no history at all of mental health problems.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
