to clarify, a little...I think biopsychiatry, this idea that "mentall illnesss" is a chemical/physical phenomenom with chemically-based "cures" is a lie. Lies individual shrinks may sometimes tell patients--"You need to take this or....." or "This drug XXX corrects what's wrong with you...," so on and so forth, are the "little lies".

The BIG LIE, as I see it, is biopsychiatry itself. The studies are poorly conducted with an eye towards profit and maintaining the status quo, and everyone (docs, big pharma) benefits, except for the patients. Psychiatry has never exactly been *nice* to many who entered into treatment, but biopsychiatry has really sucked every last drop of humanity, humility, and understanding out of the enterprise. Its a shame, really--we've replaced people with pills under the assumption that people would get better, and its failed, and now there appears to be no change in sight: psychiatrists largely seem determined to "stay the course," irrespective of patient needs and even data that would show there are other ways to deal with emotional problems.
