“In the twentieth century, systematic political abuse of psychiatry took place in the Soviet Union.[1] During the leadership of General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev, psychiatry was used as a tool to eliminate political opponents (”dissidents”) who openly expressed beliefs that contradicted official dogma.[2] The term “philosophical intoxication” was widely used to diagnose mental disorders in cases where people disagreed with leaders and criticized them”

Think it can’t happen here?

Let’s ask Lois Lerner.

Psychiatry has performed similar abuses here for years as has the rest of the medical profession. This is no new trend.
