Psychiatry as Pseudoscience

I've talked about this before, ad nauseum.  I know. I KNOW.  Removed myself from Psychiatry years ago.  Basically, shrinks are just drug dealers who deal legally.  They use "medications" they do not understand, based on info provided by Big Pharma.  The new generation of neuroleptics are dangerous drugs...think tardive dyskinesia. obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, DEATH, and just plain ineffectiveness.  If someone is "different" is that a pathology?  These days EVERYONE is bi-polar or Borderline.  If you feel sad, you get a happy pill...an SSRI, when NO one knows the long-term effects of this medication.  People are locked up against their will for the slimmest of reasons.  ECT, which causes brain damage is used routinely, especially with the elderly.  If you feel you need therapy...or just to talk to someone, that is not a bad idea, IF you can find someone competent.  My horse and dog are my therapists.
