Psychiatrists and their membership body, the Royal College of Psychiatrists, consistently lament about the growing crises in their profession. A regular narrative calling for even more Government funding could easily sway members of the public into thinking a higher proportion of their taxes should be spent on mental health. But think again.
Clever and shrewd investors consider the overall value of a service in a given industry or profession. Amongst other things, they look at value for money, the longevity of a product and its workability. Psychiatry however falls down on all of these points and it’s not because of money or staff.
Psychiatry is fundamentally flawed. A constantly revolving mental health door indicates failing and damaging outcomes of psychiatric “treatments”. Whether it’s voluntary or involuntary “treatment”, patients are being harmed and dying as a result of prescribed psychiatric drugs and brain-damaging ECT. In any other profession, these failures would result in probable closure while also generating court proceedings and custodial sentences. The fact that psychiatry continues in its same operating patterns indicates the profession is currently operating with impunity.
Silence about psychiatric damage and the abject failures is not an option.
