Forget self idolising and NARCISSIST Freud, the REAL PSYCHIATRIST (WHO HAS BEEN ERASED FROM HISTORY) you need to know is the BLACKPILLED MESSIAH called Thomas Szasz, in his masterpiece Psychiatry: The Science of Lies (2008 ) he completely debunks his own field with nuggets of GOLD from the inside.
quotes/ideas:
If it is not about cellular pathology, what, then, is the field of “mental health and disease” really about? Sadness, anxiety, deviant, unusual or disruptive behavior patterns, secondary gain and absolution of responsibility via the sick role, fallacious thinking, and having low power, among other elements. In a nutshell, it is about suffering and, perhaps more importantly, being insufferable. Crucial for Szasz is that the attribution of disease then legitimizes in psychiatrists and other mental health professionals the power of social control. By labeling others as “sick”, we can lock them away, force drugs upon them, and separate them from “normal” people like us because there is something fundamentally wrong with them. And we can justify it all in the name of science. But really it is about social control. The mental health industry manufactures illnesses to legitimize and feed itself and it serves those in power via social control of deviants. Szasz has famously called its practitioners secular priests.
