This is what we need to start seeing for psychiatrists who mislead clients that they have a brain disease called schizophrenia and need to take neuroleptics for life, without warning them of the risks of long-term use… these psychiatrists deserve prison sentences. And major fines. Only real harsh consequences will start to change the behavior of those who are profiting from the vulnerable and helpless.

I agree. And now that the DSM disorders have been confessed to be scientifically “lacking in validity” it strikes me anyone utilizing them should be able to be sued for defamation of character. And now that the UN has confessed “forced psychiatric treatment is torture,” all doctors who have force treated people should be able to be sued.
