Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of mental disorders.[1] These include various maladaptations related to mood, behaviour, cognition, and perceptions. Modern psychiatry is intimately tied to Big Pharma, which has a massive financial incentive to produce drugs for all sort of more or less fictitious conditions.
The discipline is, and has historically been, viewed as controversial by those under its care, sociologists and psychiatrists themselves. Reasons cited for this controversy include the subjectivity of diagnosis,[2] the use of diagnosis and treatment for social and political control including detaining citizens and treating them without consent,[3] and the side effects of treatments like electroconvulsive therapy,[4] antipsychotics[5] and historical procedures like lobotomy and other forms of psychosurgery[6] or insulin shock therapy.[7]
