MASS MENTAL ILLNESS is his DREAM! And no he could not even explain what it is!

What a joke. I've had severe mental illness and I'm telling you this man is a Quack.

Psychiatry has been around for over 200 years and still there is no cure. All they do is take money, publish research papers and get awards.

In 1949 Antonio Egas Moniz won the Nobel prize for "leukotomy" which was a type of lobotomy for the mentally ill. This was a barbaric procedure but at the time poeple thought he deserved it. Today in 2010 Professor Patrick McGorry wins an award, what a joke.
