SAN FRANCISCO, May 20 -- Physicians gathering for the American Psychiatric Association annual meeting here were greeted with a noisy street protest by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), an offshoot of the Church of Scientology.

From its earliest days in the 1950s, Scientologists have waged a campaign accusing the psychiatric profession of a range of abuses. Now conducted under the CCHR's banner, the campaign currently portrays psychiatry as an "industry of death."

Demonstrations like the one at this year's meeting have become a fixture at the annual gatherings.

In this exclusive MedPage Today video report, APA President Nada Stotland, M.D., explains what it's like for a medical society that has, as she put it, its own dedicated hate group -- the impact on practicing psychiatrists, and how the group has responded.

WOW TheOneAndOnlyXeny, you deleted my comments. LOL

[TheOneAndOnlyXenu]

No I didn't. I never delete comments unless they are personally targeted, obscene insults.

[Mona09Sk]

All I said was: GO CCHR! and now that comment is gone. Also there was a reply form a member of anonymous and after that I replied and all of those comments are gone.?????

[TheOneAndOnlyXenu]

That comment is still there! If you are not already doing so, click on "view all comments" near the bottom of the screen". Your comment is 39th down from the top.

ssociation (APA), psychiatrist Nada Stotland, obviously needs a bit of a lesson on the difference between a disease and a "mental disorder,"

Lol you got to watch this on youtube

[TheOneAndOnlyXenu]

You need a lesson on how not to tell lies so much, Marco.

[11Jamie11]

CCHR = $cientology = cult = "dedicated hate group".

Yep, "that's what she said". And she is 100% correct.

[davidm1952]

See! They don't understand humor. It's part of the brainwashing!!

[AppetiteForRoses]

Respond to this video... I beg to differ

[AppetiteForRoses]

Respond to this video... ps. Yes - self help theories with a FAR greater success rate :)

@MrItachi444 All chemicals work by causing damage. At least medicine such as chemotherapy actually kills a proven disease. Psychological intervention has always fared better than psychiatry and you can't cure a person whilst they are intoxicated, you can only do further damage to the person.

[AppetiteForRoses]

Stop the drugs psychiatry and your business will be very effective. Never has there been a disease proven to cause any of the theoretical psychiatric disorders. In fact all chemicals work by causing damage the same as gravity keeps our feet firmly on the ground. To argue this fact is insane.

[electrogeek77]

@MrItachi444 And science is willing to admit when it's wrong and revise itself. You don't see Scientology doing that.

[MrItachi444]

Scientology and Dianetics are self-help theories. Psychiatry and Psychology are there only to help the people that Dianetics and Scientology CANNOT HELP. these people are not Supressive Persons, and neither are the many doctors that help them. L.Ron Hubbard's works cannot cure everything, they can only help people think they are better. for some, that works. Religion and Science will always fight, but Science has more marked effects for more people than Religion or Scientology.

@TheEvilOfScientology Like most of the "self-help" cults they take people who have problems, like all of us, convince them that they are worse off than they are, that the cult is their only hope, make them worse, then prevent them from obtaining real help. Truly evil.

[michigananon]

Ending with anon with sign directed at the $cientologists "These People Need Psych Help" Perfect.

[craigbatley]

try looking at the website trueworldhistory.info

or reading "The Rise of the Fourth Reich" by Jim Marrs

The Scientologists arn't the only ones who smell something fishy in Denmark and big Pharma. not to mention the Federal Reserve .. Scientologists have been been trying to tell us about that shit for decades ..

or get behind the Patriot act and really push it ... you probably believe there is such a thing as a legitimate war on terror, too.

Psychiatry=Fascism

if it had any respect for democracy, it would not silence its opposition-it acts just like a Nazi Propagandist..
