Well I guess you must have worked closely with the mentally ill to make such a "brilliant " statement.

Why don't we just save ourselves the trouble with "Nazi" psychiatry and just put people back into the insane asylums we had prior to the 1950's when there were no medications for schizophrenia, major depressions, postpartum depressions and bi-polar disorder. In fact, why don't we just get rid of all medicine. Cause after all, doctors often make mistakes and people take advantage of many medicines.

Better yet, why don't we just let scientology "cure" everyone if they can't "pull themselves up by the bootstraps " in the true tradition of rugged individualism?

Well when it comes to pumping unneeded medication into our children, psychiatrists top the list. A boy that has a lot of energy, Ooh, ADD, drug him up. Are you feeling depresses a bit, well here are some meds to make you feel better. I am not dismissing drugs altogether, but too many times these so called experts are too willing to prescribe crap we don't need instead of addressing the problem head on, or even understanding that many children have a lot of energy, and need a stronger pesence at home than medication to keep them in line.
