Most of the footage was edited to make it seem like they are right (cut out the parts they didn't like or didn't justify their sayings). As a psychology student, I'm aware that my profession has some weaknesses and in the United States it is quite industrialized but I don't think that just because of some economic interests it should be called a worldwide conspiracy. Because this is what they call psychology, a conspiracy with some very evil folks behind it. Most of it is fake and the whole concept is illogical. Furthermore even if what they say would turn out to be true, they're so aggressive and only looking at one side of situation that it is very hard to believe anything they say.SPOILER They quote Nietzsche to justify one of their chapters or whatever that is and right after that they start talking about eugenics, of course about how wrong it is. If we look at Nietzsche's lifework then we may realize that it was pretty much similar to the idea of eugenics. So they only use those sentences that they like but not the whole source. This does not work that way, thus it's a fake. One moment they like the guy, the next moment they hate his ideas.They claim that there are no mental illnesses, on the other hand they are calling psychiatrists sadists and many other things, they mention mostly psychopathic traits which are pretty much mental illnesses according to their terminology.There is a chapter where a guy visits a few different psychiatrists with a set of symptoms and according to the movie it is the proof that psychology does not have any scientific basis. The problem is that all the psychiatrists came up with the same 3 or 4 possible diagnoses after a few minutes of talk. If it were such a fraud as they claim, each therapist should have come up with very different diagnoses.SPOILER ENDIn my opinion, the reason why the creator of this rubbish is denying the existence of mental illnesses because that way he wouldn't have to face his own sh*t.
Everyone that is taking some kind of medicationshould watch these, I don't care if this is a doc or not, the truth is that if you are under medication, you will find a lot of thing that happened or will happen to you.I don't want answers I don't care about dates, but I DO care about how the psychiatrist have no idea , NO IDEA, what there giving us, just ask yours and he woulnt know.THIS IS A MUST HACE, FORGERT THE PROPAGANDA.You will feel that you're not alone, I'v been in the situation like many kids in this doc.THEY ARE TESTING WITH US, they are playing with your mind
This documentary is just not cool. From the first minute it is too aggressive to the watcher. Almost like a trailer to some movie - only the most "juicy" things are put up. Very very very aggressive to be true...The point is, in fact it is true to say psychiatry in US is really a business and really it smells. That is just true, but making a movie like this will not persuade an intelligent watcher about this true. On the contrary it makes him disgusted and really not about to believe what he see.In conclusion, the base of this movie might be truthfully, but the form of delivering the information is really not cool... Plus many supportive arguments are just fake...
This is not a documentary. It is a libelous piece of rubbish put forth by the scumbag Scientologists in order to discredit psychiatry. The outlandish dialog is superseded only by the distinct lack of any credible resource within. Honestly, Tom Cruise seems more sane and credible than this piece of tripe. Do yourself, and humanity, a favor and leave this rubbish on the shelf (along with Scientology). It is high time that people push back against the garbage spewed forth against logic and reason. Spit back in the face of rubbish like Scientology and the obvious fiction it is derived from. When the originator of Scientology says, "The way to make a million dollars is to start a religion." You know it's time to run kicking and screaming.
