Peter Breggin does a disservice to all seriously mentally ill people by his refusal to acknowledge mental illness is biologically based. He has no hospital privileges. He refuses to acknowledge the severity and disability of many untreated severe mental illnesses. From what Ive read in his books, he still believes in old style, Freudian psychotherapy and believes that severe depression can be overcome by therapy.

I am in disbelief as to why Breggin is still allowed to have a Medical Doctor certification in psychiatry. He seems much more cut out to be a psychologist than a psychiatrist. I believe Breggin would have been a much happier man had he become a psychologist than a MD.

After all Ive been thru with mental illness, this man disgusts me. His trivializing my problems is insulting. I suppose Breggin believes severe melancholic depression can be treated with a cup of chicken soup and some hand holding huh? Lets sit around with Peter Breggin and sing Kumb by ah and sing campfire songs and roast marshmellows. I bet my depression would go away then. Just sit around and talk about those underlying "issues" and suddenly you will be able to sleep normally again huh?

Breggin is a joke and his medical license should be pulled.
