Is psychiatry evil?

[dazzn]

Or because psychiatry is an evil practice, with no scientific base?

Psychiatry exists just to put people down, and not aid and assist them.

Proof?

(I am going to go on the record right now and say that you have been diagnosed with a mental illness at some point in your life.)

I study psychiatry and simply cite what I see of it. it's essentially a pseudo-science, based on subjective reasoning/perception. This is evident since psychiatrists often cite in the media that modern living is evil, or "unhealthy". They also are attempting to cite how we should all meditate and live like Buddhist monks and such. Nobody I know meditates, so where does this "common notion" come from? Just because some psychiatrist and his or her buddies in California reject Western concepts and want to "go Eastern", it doesn't mean all in our culture think or believe this, or even should. Medical practice is not supposed to push agendas, whether social, moral or political. It's role is to cure the sick and heal the injured, without any ideological nonsense intervening.

There is one mental health professional I respect actually, and this is Dr. Phil. It sounds odd, and frankly most real-world (so to speak) psychologists detest him, but his advice/reasoning is far superior to his detractors. He tells it as it is, in all senses. He doesn't sugarcoat things, and if there is no hope of recovery, he tells them and is honest in that respect. He also is non-judgmental, and does not make personal appraisals/values influence his reasoning. He further understands modern society as it is, and not how he wishes it to be. Tell me, which other "real-world" psychologists writes a book called "Life Code"? But no, they try and influence us to be Buddhist monks and push their subjective moral views/perceptions onto the masses lol.. I think most real-world psychologists detest Dr. Phil not due to his fame but because he's a better professional than they'll be in a million years and are just pussy loser envious people

Actually, most mental health professionals are like Charlie/Alan Harper's and now Walden's psychiatrist in Two and a Half Men. Yes, this is not reality, granted, but the depiction of this woman mirrors reality strongly. She is judgmental, abusive, dictatorial, and rude, which reflects how most of these "people" are.
