    Default Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry Dr. Thomas Szasz: "It's a joke"

    @1:44: "What we need is psychiatric abolition because what we have is psychiatric slavery"



    @2:23: "Labeling a child as mentally ill is stigmatization, not diagnosis. Giving a child a psychiatric drug is poisoning, not treatment."



    @3:13: "This is so big that it boggles the mind"

    There are benefits from talk therapy psychiatric treatment. My uncle was a psychiatrist in Britain in the mid-20th century, he discerned that many schizophrenics (half of his such patients) could be cured by using talk therapy about phobias. He found that a lot of this condition was wrapped around phobias. Of course, he was blackballed by the fruedian psychiatric establishment and eventually had to finish his career as the psychiatrist in a juvenile home.

    My point is remember there are benefits from talk oriented psychiatric treatment. The drug pushing psychiatrists (some of whom receive kickbacks from big pharma for prescriptions) can go rot.

    Couldn't agree more. Psychiatry nearly cost me my life.
    So you have mental problems... Now off course we could try to solve your problems but... how about some drugs ?

    It's complete nonsense. Keep your children away from these people.

    Agreed, from personal experience.
    The good ones (in Canada), you have to pay out of pocket for.
    The ones covered by Social Health Care write you a script then ask if you know how to hack a satellite card, speed up their PC, get more horsepower out of their Lambo or some other such useless drivel LOL.

    This documentary is intense and very sad. Depicts the real life consequences of psychiatric meds and care for an autistic girl.

    I watched as my mother was destroyed by medications. When I was young she was treated by her father, a psychiatrist. I grew up knowing that what the man in the OP says is true - I saw it first hand. All I had to do was to reflect on my mother's emotional wellbeing and her function to know the truth.

    The ways children are drugged with the vile concoctions when natural means are 1,000% more effective is criminal. It makes my blood boil! The whole Medical Mafia in general.
