Psychiatry exposed

I just saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b30iwhEw9ho

They talk to psychiatrists outside of the APA meeting and they admit that they can't cure their patients.

What do you think?

You can't cure cancer. But you can make it livable sometimes.

Why stop trying just because you can't be God?

because the whole system is unjust and we end up on the short end.

The whole system is not unjust at all, not everything can be cured, but a lot of people can get over their disorders like anxiety and similar disorders through therapy etc, I have... so there are a lot of people who do wonders to help others with their disorders, so even though there are those odd people that have horrible experiences with psychiatry, there are a a lot more that have received proper help and treatment, I'm one of those people.

who you calling odd???

I watched the video and wow.. gave me a ton of ideas.. first I visited their website.. "Psychiatry Exposed" to see what they are.. basically an anti-psychiatry coalition of some sort. So that tells me the video is biased.. they want to shoot videos that prove their movement against psychiatry.. and they have.. but if you wanted to shoot a video proving psychiatry to be amazing, you can do that too.

I mean it's good to see both sides.. like without good their couldn't be evil (the whole yin yang thing).

But at the end of the day you'll either believe psychiatry helps.. or it hurts or somewhere in between (like me) because it's just not that black and white.

I believe in psychiatry to a point, as far as depression and anxiety goes, but with conditions like schizophrenia.. I've never experienced.. but those that I met with the condition told me how their psych meds made their lives much more manageable.

Just my view

I think she meant odd as in 'the odd one out.' Odd/even ect.

you all should watch Psychiatry An Industry Of Death http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsfH_ap2Wgg

it's in 10 parts and is pretty good. You can get the whole documentary from a torrent site if you don't want to watch it on youtube

Some of it was interesting but by the end do you really think psychiatry is going to enslave the human race??? I mean the person who wrote up this movie must of been extremely paranoid. Psychiatry is basically small clinics trying to help people. I DO think it is unjust system because your paying for medication that may/or may not help you. If you don't/can't pay for it you shouldn't be forced into a psychiatric ward they should put you on a free medication until you can/cannot do it. That's how they do it here and even still it's not fair because like in the video you haven't committed a crime, but "are a risk" to commit a crime.

It's like a really mean intervention IMO. I guess it seems unfair because doctors get a extreme amount of power over patients and some are negligent. While some are good at their job. I think if alot of sick people were to get together and do something, and apply for better rights and treatment. Should you be locked up because you see the world in a different view?? What about if you just don't agree with your friends/family? These pills should be voluntary if you don't wish to be locked up or forced there should be an alternative.
