psychiatry is just another form of witchcraft.
While this poorly written diatribe contains a few kernals of truth, the logical conclusions it then arrives at from those kernals are simply laughable. There is so much here that is so much nonsense that I wouldn’t know where to begin, so I won’t.
Been a psychiatrist (not the same as a psychologist, BTW, dear author - at least get that right!) for several decades, board certified since 1993, and worked in a variety of settings with all sorts of patients. In other words, I know whereof I speak, but the charges in the article are so ludicrous I’m not speaking: I’m laughing - and heading off to the clinic to relieve some suffering.
The author is very light on logic. Whence "therefore?"
Parents as a group are indeed nonprofessionals when it comes to psychology, medicine, biology, or anything else. It does not follow that they are incompetent in child-rearing. The statement is stupid: millions of people drive cars without being professional drivers. Millions also exercise regularly without being professional athletes.
Attacks on industry is just another form of class warfare. People abrogated many of their ages-old duties such as maintaining marriage, child-rearing and care for the elderly. G-dlessness, decadence, other trends in the CULTURE may have something to do with that. Deflecting the blame to evil "capitalists" (pharma industry) is just socialist propaganda.
