In his 2008 book, Psychiatry: The Science of Lies, psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Szasz quotes Mark Twain, “Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing the matter with this, except that it ain't so.” He also writes that, “...serious persons ought not to take psychiatry seriously, except as a threat to reason, responsibility, and liberty.”
Psychiatry is finally under full attack, and rightly so, for decades of prescribing putative antidepressants that have caused infinitely more harm than good under the deceptive cloak that depression is caused by a, “Chemical imbalance” that cannot be measured by any scientific means. And those so-called therapeutic medications are not the only harmful psychotropics that psychiatrists, primary care physicians, and nurse practitioners have been liberally prescribing under the guise of providing mental health treatment.
The APA along with the money generating Diagnostic and Statistical Manuals that have no scientific foundation, are a huge fraud that should be excised from legitimate medicine. One benefit of the internet is that people have no excuse for being ignorant of the truth, and willful ignorance is really irresponsible in light of having the tools the internet provides to seek factual truth.
