Dr. John Breeding, Ph.D. Psychologist talks about the mental health liberation movement, the anti-psychiatry movement, the movement against psychiatric oppression. Sometimes seen as antipsych or antipsychiary or anti-biological psychiatry. This is a movement made up mostly of ex-mental health consumers and the family members of ex-mental health consumers who feel they have been damaged by psychiatry. These people refer to themselves as psychiatric survivors. There are also several medical …

Does anyone know more about experiment like ROSENHAN EXPERIMENT? Being a psychiatrist the result of Rosenhan Experiment is a true bitter taste. This experiment is amazing. Not only does it prove something about schizophrenia, but also the most incredible discoveries appear after being admitted to the hospital. Rosenhan’s group become almost a perfect experiment group in regard to real patients admitted to hospital.
Psychiatrists thought the hippies were insane because of their sexual promiscuity, psychedelic use, bisexuality, and acceptance of death that sometimes manifested itself as suicide. Most societies through history have held at least one of these traits to be virtues, and psychiatry is just as subjective as any other religion.

“In short, the whole business of creating psychiatric categories of disease, formalizing them with consensus, and subsequently ascribing diagnostic codes to them, which in turn leads to their use for insurance billing, is nothing but an extended RACKET furnishing psychiatry a PSEUDO-scientific aura. The perpetrators [psychiatrists] are, of course, feeding at the public trough.[and getting filthy rich]
— Dr. Thomas Dorman, internist and member of the Royal College of Physicians of the UK
“All psychiatrists have in common that when they are caught on camera or on microphone, they cower and admit that there are no such things as chemical imbalances/diseases, or examinations or tests for them. What they do in practice, lying in every instance, abrogating [revoking] the informed consent right of every patient and POISONING them in the name of treatment is nothing short of CRIMINAL.

“…theres no biological imbalance. When people come to me and they say, I have a biochemical imbalance, I say, Show me your lab tests. There are no lab tests. So whats the biochemical imbalance?
— Dr. Ron Leifer, psychiatrist
modern psychiatry has yet to convincingly prove the genetic/biologic cause of any single mental illnessPatients [have] been diagnosed with chemical imbalances despite the fact that no test exists to support such a claim, andthere is no real conception of what a correct chemical balance would even look like.
— Dr. David Kaiser, psychiatrist
I am happy to hear of your coming out of the darkness of your experience. Yes, cannabis is a wonderful plant, with great potential for mind expansion. Good luck to you and your life without the charlatans!
It is interesting that Dr. Breeding comes off as an existential psychologist, yet, he maintains his copy of the DSM, with bookmarks. I suppose he needs to understand the lies he uncovers.
Don’t be fooled by the ph.D. Doctor, most psychiatric survivors, like me, know that whilst some of what is said has some connection with the truth, this is just a front for the nonsense Church of Scientology. The care and treatment of mental ill health do not have to be oppressive and there are many well intentioned mental health professionals out there. Meds are ok if they work for you and the positives outweigh any negative, so called side effects. This group hijacks the real surv movement
i agree on alot of it. big business has been greedy. some people need to be on meds though. the meds alone will not treat solely alone takes absinenance from narcs and alcohol. also diet exercise play together with the medication.
Although I generally follow the psychiatry line, I find you extremely interesting and impossible not to listen to, even though I often don’t agree.
im glad that this is “humorous” to you…it wasnt very humorous when i was forced to take drugs that caused damage to my body or when my freedom was taken away and i was locked into restraint chairs..that wasnt very humorous to me
yeah, whats your fucking point
I believe… idiocy or greed may be a direct cause of much of it. An intelligent psychiatrist should actually recognize that many things diagnosed as proclaimed ” mental disorders” can be, in my opinion, efficently -cured- by psychological treatments. Of whatever sort.
To claim that psychiatrist are intentionally working to supress the people of a nation, etc is a bit…humorous to me, if not plainly silly.They believe they are aiding by supressing something to such a degree it is out ofmind
You realize psychology and psychiatry both begin with the three letters “psy”, correct?
A) Lying to the medical profession. . This includes giving a false history, tampering with drug tests, lying about disability to receive benefits, misleading court officials to receive more lenient sentences, and so on.
my psychiatrist doesn’t even care about me. He just gets payed a lot of money to talk to me for 5 minutes and hand me a prescription.
In college I found that doing the opposite of what psychiatrists had told me to do was what would ultimately help me. I don’t know if I was initially misdiagnosed or what, but it turns out that smoking pot didn’t make me psychotic, but seemed to help. same with other psychedelics. I breezed through college, got a degree in english, and explored the far reaches of my mind on a regular basis. However, I will always carry those awful memories of alienation, and will forever distrust psychiatry.
hysteria being what it is, I was diagnosed as bipolar at age 16, received a cocktail of drugs at various times (zyprexa, risperdal, lithium, inderal, cogentin, haldol) that made me a practically narcoleptic zombie unable to do any schoolwork. nobody would listen to me when I told them the side effects were too intense. I failed a year of school, watched my friends and peers go to college, while I, formerly an honors student, degenerated. after stopping the meds, I got into college, graduated.
Breeding’s argument is self contradictory. It was PSYCHOLOGY that said gay isn’t a disease. Initially it did but it was psy which reveresed that. It was PSYCHOLOGY which tells us blacks (slaves, etc) are no different than whites. yes psy has evolved from a racistpassed but psy itself condemned its own past and desperatley now forces these mores on society. ie, gay is normal, blacks are identical to all else, slavery is worng, etc. Breeding must refine his argument
I agree w/ half. He’s got the social manifestations of psy all wrong. Psy no longer wants to opress minorities yet has frantically raced to speed al minorities up to speed on every social scale. This is why the undeserved get colege placement and why criminals are taught that their crimes are not their fault but the fault of mental illness which started b/c of an opressive society. Psy tries to remove all accountability from behavior in order “help” not hinder
can I ask what happened to you, im going through the same shit and im looking for other people with similar stories thanks.
