What does Veeky Forums think of psychiatry?
1) Is it a joke field?
2) Should involuntary treatment be legal?
3) What do you think of psychiatric drugs like antidepressants and antipsychotics? Are they a good solution?

>Should involuntary treatment be legal?
No. The quaks are madder than the patients. The key is early intervention to impose management strategies which maximise the patients unique potetial for contribution to society.
Right now psychiatry is still run and operated by a bunch of sociopathic mad scientists. The tream treatment needs to be exchanged with the word experimentation.
Aint nobody but me experimenting on my mind. Ill stick to the medication i can collect myself from the forest...

As someone who was recently involuntarily detained (which I think was completely unjustified), I agree with you.
It's a branch of medicine, which is a science.

No it is a very serious threat to reasonable people everywhere

>2) Should involuntary treatment be legal?
No. Any shrink who has ever done this should be held down and injected with Haldol daily, given ECT until they are too fried to practice.

What about crazy people?

I think I agree. Do you have experience with shrinks? I was recently detained involuntarily myself, and it was shit. Depression was the diagnosis - thank God it was nothing more serious than that. But I don't think they should have the right to detain me against my will.
I felt sorry for the schizophrenics who were medicated against their will, sometimes by depot injection. They did threaten me with injection though when I was very agitated at one time. They gave me Haldol in fact (we just call it haloperidol over here in the UK, the chemical name), and said if I didn't take the pill then they'd forcibly inject me. How fucked up is that.
Crazy people are usually crazy for a reason. They've got things that are disturbing them. Talking therapy can definitely help them. Whereas drugging them - I fail to see how that helps.
