Clifford Beers was an early consumer who advocated for the improvement of mental health services. He wrote a book, "A Mind That Found Itself," which detailed his firsthand experiences with mental illness and the poor treatment he received in psychiatric institutions. This book helped to bring attention to the need for reform and led to the formation of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene, which focused on improving the quality of mental health care.
