Dr. Thomas Szasz Exposes Psychiatry

p$ychiatry

While I certainly dont agree with Scientology in general,I can admit that phsychiatry has a few skeletons in the closet as well. I certainly don't agree with the drugging of children for percieved 'illnesses'.

Well, it wasn't even a psychiatrist who invented drapotemania. It was Samuel A. Cartwright, who was just a physician.
According to your logic, then that would basically discredit the whole field of medicine.

Is migraine a disease?

Yes, I for one oppose abuses both by Scientologists and psychiatrists.

Was that to me?
Because I don't know where you got that from. I never claimed that people don't feel depressed. I've felt depressed myself, and a few of my friends self-mutilated, but a few of them also turned their lives around without a magic pill.
You are exactly right about the last sentence. Hypothyroidism, yeah, but depression itself is hardly a "disease".

Granted, I do have some amount of faith in psychiatry, but not because anti-psychiatry sounds like bullshit to me. It's more because it's done pretty well for me over the past 12 years...more or less.

Yeah well it did horribly for me.
I can say the same about my friends with "ADHD".You must realize that psychiatry has been exploited as a "quick fix", and as a profit-driven industry, they don't have a problem with it. I won't share my life story on YouTube comments, but I can say that without psychiatry I feel much better in terms of physical health and confidence.
There may be a placebo effect for some, or for others it might be an easy way out...to others, it's more trouble than it's worth.

And that's fine. I guess it depends on what psychiatrist you get. While I'm not going to tell my life story on Youtube either, it was quite a few years of going to psychiatrists before I got a medication that worked for me. But I can say, with a great deal of certainty, that if I had never gone to psychiatrists and never used medication that I would likely be dead by now.

Or what psychiatristS...just wanted to clarify that, though some aren't as bad as others can be. I could make further comments, but I'm not trying to start an argument...so, fair enough.
