Also, Tom never thought to extraploate on the "past of psychiatry". He probably has read Breggin and taken it whole without questioning anything. And Breggin shows absolutely 100% bias in his "writings" There is not one part or phrase where he sees the utility of psych drugs.

And Ritalin....OK, I'm not a big fan of that, but I doubt Tom knows how that biochemically effects the brain in different regions. He is saying it is bad because it is (supposed to be) bad....circular reasoning, Tom!

That misnomer should be enough to discredit his "expertise" in the field of Psychiatry.
Fellow scientologist actress Jenna Elfman has been quoted as saying:
"I intend to make Scientology as accessible to as many people as I can. And that is my goal,” Elfman said. To do this, she says, it is my “duty to clear the planet.” By “clearing” she means to rid the world of “body thetans” — aliens who Scientologists believe inhabit the earth from a nuclear explosion 75 million years ago.
