After learning about different aspects of psychology and mental disorders at school, I started questioning the basis of psychiatry, and eventually started researching it further. Anti-psychiatry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I mean, What if this is all just a bunch of crap that doctors make to put down those that they don't like? What if people like so-called schizoprenics really do feel that they are not sick, and simply here voices, like those in the Hearing Voices Movement? Why do those in the courts get to decide that a specific person must be medicated if they are to live a productive and valuable life? Arguments like these really seem to make sense to me, but I would like to hear your opinions on the subject.
Mind, anti-psychiatry is not necessarily anti-psychology; psychology is more studying behavior and observation. And therapy of different kinds can still be useful if the patient comes out understanding their feelings or themselves better.
