  1. I do believe those with a bigger heart, and who have “overcome their egocentric viewpoints,” which is something psychiatric treatment does work to accomplish in all it’s patients, are better able to understand social injustices via wise reasoning. Especially, more so, than people only working to maintain the credibility of their own industry, and hide the adverse effects of their drugs. I do so hope western civilization soon learns what India’s caste system has known for ages, it’s never wise to put physicians at the top of a caste system. Although personally, I’m not of the opinion America should be functioning under a caste system at all.
