Well said! Many drug companies are very quick one new drug to the next and designate it as a "cure all" for your symptoms! But it so hard to pinpoint the vast inimitability of the human mind so that claim is hardly feasible. But to think that dozens of psychiatrists just go along with these things so that they can earn more! Thank you for taking a stand! People need clear cut solutions to their problems! Psychiatry is about helping people not the opposite.

WPA has admitted that psychiatry has been threat to democracy and in can be again according people doctors who are work for human rights that are violated by psychiatry. Is not only political dissident that are labeled with schizofrenphia, delusional disorder etc. Psychiatry is pharmacracy, tyranni in the guise of science and sympathy

I understand the evils of medication. I intend to become a psychiatrist with the idea to help people, using medication as little as possible. However, it would be possible to deny that there are situations where medication is beneficial. Just medicaiton is a stall. You have to find the problem and treat it either physically(non drug related) or through psychotherapy and other therapeutic means. I agree that psychiatry is a overmedicated profession, but that is something that is slowly being changed. ADD and mild ADHD I believe are just kids being kids. However, I do know kids with severe ADHD whose lives are improved by medication. So psychiatry itself isn’t whats wrong, its the practice and philosophy that is used by the MAJORITY. Though I won’t be in that majority. Besides, it is slowly changing. People’s lives can change for the better through psychiatry or psychology. I myself changed a few things and definately improved my life through a few sessions of therapy. So don’t be so quick to condemn psychiatry as a whole. Hope I opened a mind or two from at least completely writing of psychiatry.

Unfortunately, there is so much truth to the fact that Psychiatry is really not a proven field of scientific study. However, seldom do you hear of the body’s ability to heal itself and that the immune system is well able to do what is necessary for whatever ails one. Since our westernized medical practitioners practice predominately palliative medicine they have missed (whether purposefully or not) the FACT that ‘good’ sound nutrition will most often than not take care of the release of the ‘proper’ neurotransmission in one’s brain to eliminate negative symptoms. (ie. low serotonin in women and low dopamine in men that correlates with depression). We are what we eat! Let’s focus on the GMO’s connection with Big Pharma and ‘Agrinomics’ of today’s food ‘industry’. If we ate ‘real’ food we would be able to maintain a homeostasis in brain chemistry. And, that is scientifically sound information.

I could only applaud the stand. I hope the exposure continues. The claims of Psychiatry are false. Nor will the day come when Psychiatry can do what they claim. There have been no known cures or causes to “Mental Illness” that it itself is evidentual. The irrational generalisations made on those who reportedly suffer severely are then in turn diagnosed on the minimalistic general public with complete disregard for any individuality, circumstances, up-bringing, experiences etc. Psychiatry has not learned a thing from there innacuracies that lead to ice-pick labotamys in thousands, they continue in a devious and decietful manner. It is a fraudelent occupation solely for the benefit of the profession at the expense of many.Perhaps if they add to their magical DSM such disorders in the same fashion for the public as then to psychiatry, the likes of: False Beliefs, Obsessive Prescribing Disorder, Lack of Humanity Disorder, Generalised Diagnosis Disorder, Fraudelent Claims Disorder, Money above Patient Disorder, these are no less than what Psychiatry already admits to the DSM.
If some were to consider the fact that the ability of Psychiatry is able to picture the historical experiences, condition and psychology of anothers mind without more than a session of words then they would also know from this written comment and eveluate how 15Gb of Windows Vista operates in all extents. Yeh Right !
Psychiatry does not possess the power of the : “The Mind Meld” and it takes far more than the time given to understand the Human mind and its Psychology and experiences of 30 years if that age. Maybe the Drugs and treatment to a degree has advanced but the understanding and operation of the Human Mind by Psychiatry is still extremely “PRIMATIVE” and never able to keep pace with modern man. Why must mankind be judged for “Illness” by these few against a Pristine and Perfect Model of a Man in an imperfect, un-predictable and over-demanding World that most struggle to cope completely.
I respect and thank for taking your stand Dr McClaren.

These are quite simply Crimes Against Humanity and should be dealt with as such, across the board!

FINALLY a man brave enough to come out and say in all honesty that his profession in a SCAM !!!!!!!! Its not an easy thing to do the guy has been involved in the “industry of death” for 22 years and probably makes his living out of it. PSYCHIATRY kills people !!!!!!and it is based on LIES !!! You just heard from a man who has studied in full the “SCIENCE” behind Psychiatry and practiced it for years and he is even saying its all a buch of unfounded lies!!!!

Dont be blind to the truth! Make others aware of whats happening ! Protect your family, friends and children from suffering at the hands of psychiatry’s vicious practice of drugging and electro shock therapy!!

I am a volunteer for an organisation which lets the truth be known and victims be heard go to http://www.cchr.org and find out the truth behind psychiatry for yourself, and support a group that cares about the victims and protects the community through CORRECT information.

sir,I agree that psychiatric diseases are never confirmed diagnoses and there are no laboratory tests to confirm the diagnoses and there is no permanent cure either ;but one does see psychiatric patients behave in an improved way after initiation of treatment-they get good sleep,are better oriented and easy to handle.This shows that medicine has worked and surely a day will come when we may be able to bring back psychiatric patients to normal levels .Till then there is no other system/pathy either which can show results that are better than the one being practised today.
