A complaint I have about Psychiatry is the concept of Forced "medical treatment". If I go to my family doctor and complain about a headache, and he says I should take an aspirin or a tylenal or something like that. I can decide, "no"... "I don't want any of those". I could say. "no"... "I don't want any medicine". If my family doctor tells me I should get a surgery on my knee, or else I'll have trouble walking all my life... I can decide "no"... "I don't want a surgery".... "I'd rather just live with this". But with Psychiatry... if they say you are deemed to be "sick" by a Psychologist ... it's no different than a prison sentence. (Actually it's worse than that.) They can make you disappear into buildings with restricted access for years or the rest of your life. They can force medication into you. They force surgeries on you. And all against your will! Now, this isn't an argument for Scientology. But despite anything you may think about Scientology... that doesn't validate Psychiatry. -- Charles Iliya Krempeaux, B.Sc. http://ChangeLog.ca/ Motorsport Videos http://TireBiterZ.com/ Vlog Razor...
