Journalists, please expose the empty claims of psychiatry!

Mentally ill. As a child, in the school yard someone attacked me physically, ended with a serious fight where my head was smashed into a heavy iron lock. Did it harm my brain? Maybe. But it's not in any journal. As a young man, I had a tick gorging on my blood for more than one whole day, and I got tested for three subspecies of one type of infection. Then when the connection wasn't obvious, it was dropped and deleted from future healthcare approaches.

After various subtle but very concrete causes have been ignored and done away with, what we have left is some 'word-salad', some theories about why people experience chronic pain and depression and 'delusions of infections'. The 'word-salad' theories do not solve the problem, there are no proposed solutions, only theories about how these ailments can spring from nothing now that every reasonable cause has been 'debunked'.

And the psychiatric system is in place to manage lives "lost" to those useless theories. The patients are still alive, but they're in the ditch and no one is trying to carry them to anywhere else health-wise. Communication skills are very important for the nurses in psychiatry. They should be sweet and kind people so the total emptiness of their services will be tolerated by those in the ditch. They should believe in the big social project rather than in dedication to individuals (the latter would be Christianity and has been mostly eradicated from Europe over the past century). As long as statistics show that most people are mostly satisfied with their life, there is no need to ruminate over the few lost ones. Not in the mental world of believers in effective unchallenged socialized medicine. 

All it takes for progressive politicians to decide to attack a private hospital: 1 hour of superficial primetime documentary.

What would it take for progressive politicians to denounce and dislodge psychiatry forever?
