Great video and so true. Another problem with stigmatizing people with mental illness is the increased in rejection by family members and other people. More suffering means more drugs and more profits.

Very powerful. Also like to share a recent insight. Thought of the cliche account of a ’schizophrenic’ who believes he is being watched all the time, and people want to poison her/him? Well, this IS the reality now. So what does this say? It says to me that people have been very sensitive to the actual. And that is classed as mental illness, and double binded and so on

Great video. Keep up the good work. I’m from Brazil, and here the abuse by psychiatrists is the same as there in the US: drugs that make you worse, psychiatrists who try to label you with a nonexistent disease so that they can control you and earn lot’s of money, psychiatrists who lie, all that stuff. I know it first hand, I’m one more victim of psychiatry.

’since therapeutic interventions imposed on patients were prompted largely by the physicians own feelings of self importance, obligations, guilt and of course, possible cravings for power and sadism, they were unrestrained by assessments of their curative value for the client or his informed consent to or refusal of the ’service” T.

Are you trying to tell me that all psychiatrists are liars? Are all neurologists liars, too? Are all doctors liars, too? It’s all a great big conspiracy, right?

What is your understanding of Tourette Syndrome (to name one example)? Are all the people diagnosed with TS just faking it? Sorry, but if you are going to make these strong claims, you better have some pretty strong explanations for things like TS.

Psychiatry and …
Psychiatry and neurology are completely different things. Neurologists treat brain and central nervous system disorders which can be seen to have physiological abnormalities. Psychiatry treats behavior disorders which have no physiological objective test. People have mental problems certainly. You can’t treat a psychological problem biological and ever get an actual cure. The mental health system needs to be reformed.

It’s funny that there are government ad campaigns to “erase the stigma of mental illness”. The term “mental illness” is DESIGNED to stigmatize! People believe that there’s objective science behind the classification of certain behaviors as “mental illness”, but in reality every biological theory of behavioral disorders is based on the most flimsy evidence imaginable. The government uses this supposedly legitimate science as justification to lock people up for Thought Crimes.

Who was it that …
Who was it that said “the greater the lie, the quicker the masses will believe it.” Psychiatry is a belief system - not a science. And just like the church once had a Holy Inquisition to subjugate the mases, the psychiatric profession now has its mental inquisition to subjugate the masses. Not to have a mind of your own, not to think for oneself, now that is real “mental illness!”
