David Oaks is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on September 16, 1955 in Chicago, Illinois, United States.

Oaks was institutionalized and forcibly medicated in the 1970s, while studying at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for what was diagnosed as schizophrenia. He has stated that he recovered by rejecting drugs and getting support from family and friends. Oaks “maintains his mental health with exercise, diet, peer counseling and wilderness trips — strategies that are well outside the mainstream thinking of psychiatrists and many patients”. He is on the board of directors for the United States International Council on Disability.

David Oaks’ organization MindFreedom International includes psychiatric survivors and psychiatrists who reject the biomedical model that defines contemporary psychiatry. They believe that “mental illness is caused by severe emotional distress, often combined with lack of socialization”, and they “decry the pervasive treatment with prescription drugs, sales of which have nearly doubled since 1998”. Further, “they condemn the continued use of electro-convulsive therapy—or ECT, also known as electroshock—which they say violates patients’ human rights.”
