Hey, I agree with those comments.
It seems that psychiatry *can't* be wrong for whatever reason. Everybody else in this world is humble enough to make mistakes, but psychiatry thinks it is above mistakes.Perhaps it thinks that it cannot show weakness.
Even now, you don't see anyone going around saying we were wrong to give people TD with older antipsychotics. Nobody ever appologized to my mom for giving her movement problems.
I guess with a mistake as big as that, the tendancy is to just deny. Sweep it under the carpet.
The worst is when they try to pawn off the drug indiced effects as symptoms of your mental illness.
Drug makes your eyes get stuck shut? "Well, that happens a lot to depressed people, I see it all the time, you must be anxious"
