Psychiatry Pseudoscience?

[Karl12]

We don't know why it's there, we don't know why the medicine works.  But it does.  (most of the time).

Yes mate - same goes for placebos, Voodoo and homeopathy.

I suppose when I say objective evidence I'm talking about impartial, physical testing (not subjective 'feelings').. for it to be sincerely labelled 'scientifically verifiable medicine'.

I could be wrong but from where I'm sitting these quacks eagerly dispensing woefully under-tested (and extremely powerful) psychotropic drugs to anybody who feels 'a bit depressed' are doing far more harm than good - especially when it comes to the flagrant dosing of children to combat 'invented' conditions.

I don't know if you've noticed recently but the numbers are off the charts.






Incidentally and coincidentally these people are also becoming incredibly rich in the process.

Influential “thought leader” psychiatrists and major psychiatry institutions, by their own recent admissions, have been repeatedly wrong about illness/disorder validity, biochemical causes and drug treatments.

In several cases, they have been discovered to be on the take from drug companies, yet continue to be taken seriously by the mainstream media.
