Only read a little of it thus far; it's obnoxiously over-the-top in painting all of psychiatry with the same "OMG- EEEEEEVIIIILLLLL!!!!" brush, but I think it does make a lot of valid points if you can get past the extremism.

(Also, browsing it a bit more, it makes me rather sad to know that therapy/counseling is being equated with psychiatry, and with psychiatry at its most unscrupulous at that... but, I do know there are some evil-ass therapists out there.  I personally hope if I ever get twisted enough to do something overtly evil, lightening strikes me before I ge the chance, but hey, consciences are rare regardless of the profession you're in.)

Opinions?

^Probably, as CCHR was established by the church of scientology in 1969. It is written at the end of this page:

Which I was interested in to see their views about ECT. It does not surprise me to see they are against it.

I thought it had a certain couch-jumping flavor to it.

Also, this just confirms that as I age I am beomcing more and more of a conspiracy-theorist whack job.  I think really do sound a like cruiseish when I talk about psychiatry sometimes.

Also re:  ECT- kinda funny, just heard an anecdote yesterday about ECT helping a really severe patient- the patient and the patient's family thought it was miraculous.  Tools of healing can be used for good or evil.  Not always one or the other.

Yep, a sci-fag front organization. Great, probably have OSA faggots lurking here now as they probably monitor the referral headers of whoever clicks that link here.

Yeah it helped me when I had it - I went from spending every day in bed sleeping and not eating to getting up and going out with a friend to the shops (this was while I was in hospital) and engaging more with people. Unfortunately the effects of ECT don't last long though, usually the doctors expect the antidepressants to take over alleviating the depression by the time this happens I think.

And that site gives the impression ECT is forced upon people. In my case two psychiatrists approved it and I had to sign a form saying I wanted it and that I accepted the risks it had.

[ProfessorFarnsworth]

Don't pay attention to that site, it's nothing but propaganda from Scientology anyway. That's one way Scientology attempts to recruit members, it disguises itself with front organization like Narcanon and this to lure people in.

Most of them are probably the cotton-wool brigade who wanted discipline banned in schools and at home.

Faggots indeed.

That only sounds like a non-sequitur to those who haven't been paying attention

Typical member of the new age wank brigade - bucks authority, shows no understanding of anyone older than 40 and walks around like their shit don't stink.

If you really want me to stand down you have to do more than just ask me in PM, you have to stop poking the badger or the badger will bite.
