Psychiatry was hijacked by the Left decades ago and stopped being scientific in the 70s.

I respect the goals of psychiatry, I have family members in the field, but there’s a LOT of junk science and bogus policies that are implemented because of Political Correctness.

A whole bunch of kids got named as ADHD. Now, the quiet ones....the ones that don't look you in the eye...the ones that want you to stop annoying them are autistic.

I'm watching a friend go through this crap...The kids 4. The therapy??? Just another type of headstart program with higher paid pros. What a scam !!

Psychiatry has never been and never will be “science”.

Psychiatry was hijacked by the Left decades ago and stopped being scientific in the 70s.

That is when Psych and Sociology got the big influx of draft deferment majors and the New Left was really feeling its oats.

They had to do something with all the fresh diplomas, so they created a need through studies for their services.

A lot of people who couldn't hack it in other majors or who were trying to 'get their head together' ended up writing their own ticket and using the general population (especially the welfare class) for lab rats. It isn't over yet.
