| Anti-psychiatry Anti-psychiatry usually refers to a movement that emerged in the 1960s hostile to most of the fundamental assumptions and common practices of psychiatry. The igniting influences for this configuration of groups and theories were Michel Foucault, R.D. Laing and Thomas Szasz. The term anti-psychiatry was first used by the South African psychiatrist David Cooper in 1967 (although some groups and individuals now prefer the term "critical psychiatry" to avoid connoting a merely oppositional stance).

| Project MKULTRA Project MK-ULTRA, or MKULTRA, was the code name for a covert CIA mind-control and chemical interrogation research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence. The program began in the early 1950s, continuing at least through the late 1960s, and it used United States citizens as its test subjects. The published evidence indicates that Project MK-ULTRA involved the surreptitious use of many types of drugs, as well as other methods, to manipulate individual mental states and to alter brain function.

| Electroconvulsive therapy Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), also known as electroshock, is a well established, albeit controversial, psychiatric treatment in which seizures are electrically induced in anesthetized patients for therapeutic effect. Today, ECT is most often used as a treatment for severe major depression which has not responded to other treatment, and is also used in the treatment of mania (often in bipolar disorder), catatonia, schizophrenia and other disorders.

| Human rights in Bangladesh 2005 was a bad year for national security in Bangladesh. Nearly every day was marked by bombings, and on one day in particular, August 17, 2005, four hundred bombs exploded in all but one of the nation's sixty-four districts. Consequentially, Bangladesh's record for human rights, which was already in question, has deteriorated. Human_rights_in_Bangladesh
