Is psychiatry evil?

[dazzn]

Let me see if I understand you correctly. You basically don't have any criteria that you would accept as proof of the effectiveness of psychiatry, think that psychiatrists want us to live like Buddhist monks and are like something on a fictional TV show, not really "people" and you love Dr. Phil.........

Okay. I think I can safely put an end stamp to my side of this conversation.

I say yes, citing all these studies on the "value" of "being humble" or "meditating" is merely pushing some ideological agenda onto the masses. Most do it. What about all of those studies saying that atheists are "less happy" or that "good looking people get more"? The latter may be true, but come on, they're trying to change society and there is no escaping their intent to push an agenda.

If medical professionals can push social agendas, so can professional football players. So expect to see Messi, Ronaldo, Falcao, Neymar, van Persie, Robben, Aguero, and Gareth Bale push an ideological agenda based on their fiat and not any sound reasoning. If medical professionals can do it, and move beyond their professionally stated purview, so can other vocations.
