I'm not sure I would go as far as they do with calling it evil, etc, but it is a basically a muiltibillion dollar money-making racket for pharma companies and "psychiastrists" that use psuedoscience to bill $150 / hour.
it's basically self-help broscience that masquerades as a real scientific field. It's completely nonsense at best, and and powerful money-making lobby/racket at worst
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. How proud you are of your ignorance. Crawl back under the rock where you've apparently been residing.
Psychiatry is at least 79.75% better than psychology.
A suppository is better than discussing your mother.

Folks that give results-based practical counseling are legit. They actually can and DO help folks improve their lives. But the theoretical psycho-babble BS is utterly worthless, as you said.
Psychiatric drugs have helped millions cope with mental illness enabling them to function relatively normal while on medication. To call that a "scam" is ignorant and ridiculous.

Medication is 20% successful and 80% scam.

For the retarded, such as yourself, who can't read or don't understand context, this discussion is about Psychotropic drugs. Duh?

Tell that to the families of the who knows how many thousands of murder victims that were killed as a result of psycho's who went off their meds.

Found the psychiatrist or has a significant other that is a psychiatrist.

Well you could’ve said that if that’s what you meant, but you wanted effect, which is why you made a blanket statement with arbitrary stats. I was responding to you and your drama, not the other people.
Also, what’s the difference? They don’t develop and test these drugs radically differently from regular drugs. If you call these drugs a scam, you’re questioning all drugs.
Sounds like you are off your meds and need to see your psychiatrist! BTW: "Psychiatrists" and "pseudoscience" are the correct spellings. Scientology doesn't want the competition. The first step in Scientology is a psychological profile (along with a socioeconomic $$$ profile) which is then used for mental manipulation and to leverage your own psychological weaknesses against you.

But without Psychiatry, how else could we get a 36 year old suppressed memory drive the news cycle and threaten to disrupt the appointment of a Supreme Court Judge?
And without my therapy sessions, how else could I have remembered that sometime during the summer of 1982, Christine Blasey-Ford snuck into my bedroom window and molested me in the middle of the night? I will of course only make this claim anonymously, and I'm unwilling to testify under oath regarding my allegations because it's too traumatic to relive this experience. My therapist said I don't need to do any of these things to validate my personhood. You must respect my lived experience and take these allegations seriously. The fact that the police have not already thrown Christine in jail for this crime is just evidence that the patriarchy is structured to re-victimize victims.
What would we do without psychology/psychiatry?

Meds generally don't fix problems, they just mask them - as evidenced by your comment. Those that are a danger to society need to be locked up or eliminated.

I could have said that, or you could just read what the thread was about, or perhaps understand context. I didn't realize you were retarded. My bad.

And I didn’t realize you’d get so riled up from getting called out for a mistake. Good to know?
