I came across an interesting, yet candid conversation. "Every psychology student knows punishment works"

One is left to wonder how many mental health professionals and psychiatrists put this thinking into practice. Viewing patients and inpatients as rats without verbal reasoning abilities that can only be corrected through inflicting pain or negative emotions. I mean in a lawsuit a Canadian psychiatrist openly admitted this- and that psychotropics were just to lower defense mechanisms.
With that said I will say this dogma may even be behind mass shootings. A large percentage of mass shooters were at some point in time in a behavioral health school and/or psychiatric treatment.

Who will ever say these mass shooters traumatized by broken homes and peer bullying misbehave in a cry for help or from mental illness only to be placed in environments where they are treated like animals breading festering rage and feelings of betrayal to the point of lashing out at the same society which literally hurt them in every way possible? Few stop to think what role psychiatric or behavioral services play in these mass shootings. When all the evidence says they should take front and center stage.
Personally I don't believe any of the atrocities in psychiatry over the past 100 years were accidental. When one understands that psychology and psychiatry is built upon the notion people are animals, that treatment is specifically engineered with the intent to destroy or inflict pain, and psychotropics lower self control it becomes blatantly obvious why the world is the way it is.
What do others think?
