Psychiatry made a bargain with the Devil when they went along with Big Pharma and the insurance companies to medicalize human suffering and dysfunction. They destroyed the best their own profession had to offer in the name of maximizing income. I don't know many happy psychiatrists.(But the only ones I know are old. The old humanities majors who went to med school in the sixties and seventies.) Who would want to spend the day in 15 minute med checks with people they barely even know who are suffering and they have so little to offer. And the scariest ones are the young who entered the profession after this happened to it and they knew what they were getting into. Psychiatric residencies are the bottom of the barrel for people who can't get into anything else for the most part.
Duckling I listen and for many a time I have been half in love and many a time much more
