How is psychiatry not pseudo science?

In the future, only consensual psychiatry will be legal. Psychiatric slavery will be outlawed. Suicide will be respected as a civil and

human right for all adults when it is done in private. We'll see how fast it happens. It will all happen though.

Nonconsensual psychiatry cannot be reformed. Nonconsensual psychiatry

must be abolished.

A core component of psychiatric training is psychiatric indoctrination.

Drugs are not a direct causation of crimes. Drugs cause crime no more than demon possessio

If you support coercive

nonconsensual psychiatry then you do so out of ignorance, obliviousness, maliciousness, or some combination of these.

Literalizing metaphors is a significant problem in psychiatry which has many unintended consequences.

Stop

literalizing metaphors.

Coercive nonconsensual psychiatry makes no sense. It should be outlawed.

#

If people understood the unintended consequences of nonconsensual psychiatry,
replied 1446d
then they would outlaw it quickly.

Look up psychiatric drug side effects. Some psychiatric drug side effects can cause death.

I'm not saying suicide is good. I hope suicides stop happening altogether. However suicide should be respected as a civil and

Creative social media activism can

help to raise awareness about the immorality of nonconsensual psychiatry and psychiatric coercion. How do you plan to help raise awareness about the problem of psychiatric abuse and

psychiatric oppression?

#

Do you believe that consensual psychiatry should be outlawed? Should all psychiatric drugs be outlawed?

I personally believe that nonconsensual psychiatry
replied 1446d
should be outlawed, and that consensual psychiatry should remain legal.

#

Perhaps it should be illegal to give minors psychiatric drugs.

Additionally the low quality research
replied 1446d
studies on psychiatric drug effectiveness need to stop, and studies showing ineffectiveness of psychiatric drugs need to be taken into account, so that adults are able to give
replied 1446d
authentic informed consent.

So again, I personally believe that consensual psychiatry should remain legal, and that nonconsensual psychiatry (psychiatric slavery) should be

outlawed.

I think nonconsensual psychiatry will be outlawed with in at least 80 years most likely. I think it's possible that it will happen in 10 years if a coherent antipsychiat

Forcing unwanted psychiatric services on someone and then billing them for those services is a scam at least, it's actually more like

slavery.

#

Conducting bad research, not publishing studies which show undesirable results, then marketing drugs as effective psychiatric medicines is scam like, and possibly also

fraudulent.

psychiatric slavery. Psychiatric slavery is legal, and psychiatric slavery is morally wrong.

Who gets to decide what is objective reality?

Are Catholics delusional because they

If someone is authentically not a danger to anyone else,

Binge eating is a behavior that can result in authentic medical disease. Binge eating itself is not an authentic

Read the book Suicide Prohibition by psychiatrist Thomas Szasz.

It will be good if we can reduce suicides to zero using persuasion,

Victim blaming happens frequently when psychiatric abuse is talked about.

Peer support is a phenomenon in

support devolved into another system of psychiatric indoctrination?

Adult humans should have
