A psychiatrist admits that psychiatry is a fake science

#1

All modernity is an adulteration.

"I’ve been practicing psychiatry for 38 years. I love my job, my peers, and my patients. But I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m participating in the biggest intellectual scam of this era. We claim to be a science, but have no understanding how thought or behavior is generated.

Many billions of dollars are spent each year in an industry built on a corrupt body of pseudoscience, cultivated and exploited by monied interests for decades. This scientific fraud has been more successful than any other of our day. Our diagnoses are contrived by our guild,

the APA, with the collaboration of monied interests—and are so unrelated to actual science that they are copyrighted and published to profit that organization.

In the process of selling a corporatist, medication-oriented model of treatment, psychiatry has been stunningly successful in redefining what it means to be a human being. Meanwhile, 20 years of peak psychiatry has resulted in a 30% increase of suicide in the United States—and American psychiatry has absolutely nothing constructive to say about it."

People like that really have it made. Next to no intellectual integrity, and even when, 40 years later and. presumably, millions of dollars later, he figures out it’s all a scam and that people die as a result of its machinations, all he does is write a little post about it. He doesn’t even seem to feel personally responsible.

Medicine selects for narcissism with sociopathic tendencies. He is probably more disturbed by having been broadly intellectually deficient.

The first part makes sense. As such, I doubt he’s even processed his being duped as a personal failing.

Dr. Peter Breggin MD, a psychiatrist who has been writing books about the psychiatric scam and harms for years (https://breggin.com/Books), in a recent interview, wondered what is really behind the $25 million “defamation” lawsuit against him: Dr. Breggin Speaks Out About Dr. Malone’s $25 Million Dollar Lawsuit - America Out Loud

Because authentic scientists normally engage in vigorous criticism of ideas, which is what he did with the mass psychosis formation theory (which in his mind amounts to “victim blaming” and draws attention away from what the global perpetrators are up to with their mind control operations) – Dr. Breggin puts this out: the lawsuit is designed to shut him up, and the question is why.

Greatly admire Dr. Breggin for many reasons and will not embrace those who are focused on shutting him and his wife down.
