In November 1971 Jennifer Gleissner and Tulia Tesauro met each other as patients at Agnews State Hospital. Together they founded the anti-psychiatry journal Madness Network News in 1972. The quarterly anti-psychiatry journal readership extended to a national as well as an international audience. Madness Network News became, in essence, the voice and networking center for the Psychiatric Survivor, Ex-Patient/Inmate, and Anti-Psychiatry Movement in the United States, unapologetically advocating for the full human dignity, self-expression and civil rights of people with psychiatric diagnoses (psychiatric survivors and mad people.)

As a quarterly journal, Madness Network News published personal experiences, creative writings, art, political analysis, and factual reporting from the point of view of people who had been on the receiving end of psychiatric oppression and who now found themselves relegated to pariah status, living in marginalized and oppressive conditions and denied even the most basic aspects of personal choice, self-determination and human rights.

For nearly 15 years the anti-psychiatry journal inspired many. In 1986 Madness Network News met its demise and ceased publication. The original Madness Network News archive remains an invaluable and unique historical and primary source material that continues to elucidate the concerns, existential dilemmas and lives of people with psychiatric diagnoses.

In 2019 an effort commenced by a small group of activists to find the original Madness Network News editorial team and resurrect the anti-psychiatry journal. The effort in full was the historical preservation, digital accessibility, and revival of Madness Network News for the next generation of psychiatric survivor and mad people. After two years, in 2021, Madness Network News (madnessnetworknews.com) returned and continues to be a platform for psychiatric survivor and madness-based movements around the world.
