No one is closing any book yet. The problem Baughman has with psychiatry is that #1 they claim these disorders are a disease, much like diabetes, when clearly they are not, and #2, that psychiatry claims they can treat these so-called diseases when clearly, none of these drugs are any better than holding actions until we do know more, and they have very bad and irreversible side effects that psychiatry ignores.

His entire point, if you’d read his research instead of guessing at it, is that psychiatry claims to do things that, if they actually did, would be in the specialty of neurologisty.

Psychiatrists don’t deal with brain tumors, for example - neurologists do. If psychiatrists had any clue what the MRI and PET scans were telling them, there would be better treatments than the equivalent of “try this and we’ll see if it works”. Nor can neurologists fix brain problems wth talk theraphy, whereas that’s been a staple of psychiatry for decades/centuries.

Do you get his point now ? I suggest you read more of his stuff than the little bit that is here. If you don’t want to buy any book, here’s a start:

Again, study the field of NEUROPSYCHIATRY. And you will find that just pumping pills is not the only treatment available.
