I have to admit that after at least three decades of reading Szasz and all sorts of anti-psychiatric literature (and libertarian literature as well) I still can't put a dent in Szasz' arguments. He will, I believe, be vindicated thoroughly by history. Most of what they call psychiatry nowadays is a clever sham, a new disguise for old witchcraft.I agree with you to an extent. If you have ever known a full bore schizophrenic, which I have, it's hard to deny that this is not a very very dangerously ill person and that the illness is related to his brain.
Every other part of our body gets sick or can be defective. Why not brains?

This is a long, but interesting read on law, liberty, medicine, neurology, psychiatry and psychology.

Because the concept of LAW AND ORDER in society dictates that these murderers be executed.
Regardless of their phony-baloney excuses, like non-existant insanities.
