    You mean “opinions on being anti-psychiatry”? That’s like “being anti-sandwiches”. I’d have to know what exactly you’re against before commenting.

        This Wikipedia article is your stance? That’s not very helpful because there are various contradicting voices in there.

        I apologise as I came here to harshly judge you but now I stand corrected. I’ve always considered psychiatry (not therapy) a very soft science, where we just give people treatment and we don’t know if it works, and if yes why, and giving people the endless cocktails of treatments is equally akin to the insulin shock therapies or to lobotomies.

        Is it a failed enterprise? Health wise yes, but it manages to keep people as good working ants for a little longer, so profit wise no
