Psychologists, counselors, and social workers are so full of crap and arrogance these days. They have no ability to understand human suffering or human problems. They see people as things to be controlled. They have no empathy or professional skills. This problem goes back to the corruption that are at universities and colleges. They just don't care. The mental health field is cold, ruthless, and uncaring. They live off of the pain of their clients and make money doing it. It is horrible.

Gay men in the UK were forced to undergo 'Aversion Therapy' which includes being injected with drugs that cause extreme nausea, electrocution etc.

This went on until the late 1970's in my country. No state Psychiatrist (doctor) was ever charged and naturally many gay men were traumatised and killed themselves over this torture and humiliation.

Homosexuality was only taken out of the DSM (Bible for Psychiatrists), in the 1970's as a mental health disorder!

Excellent video, well done.

Psychiatry is a total lie. In a 50 years it will be an embarrassment that this is what we did to people in America that were troubled or simply different.
