No Psychs Dot Org

No Psychs is not a highly polished site. But it does have a lot of good resources. No Psychs is a project created by the Foundation for Religious Freedom for:

  • people seeking viable alternatives to mainstream mental health
  • people requiring support after suffering from fraud, malpractice or physical harm
  • people studying modern psycho-therapy and other conventional treatments for psychiatrically diagnosed mental disorders ---including the use of drugs
  • a down-to-earth educational resource for the general public

Lots of reasonably informed articles on a variety of subjects. See for example, this article which provocatively attacks psychiatry as a dangerous cult

The REAL recipe for a mind-altering, debilitating, anxiety-inducing, Dangerous Cult:
  1. Set up a system where all of society is forced, by weight of government arms, to be in awe of that system and any of its members;
  2. Make them above much of the law by having it be practically self-regulating;
  3. Allow such varying and dangerous use of substances that it becomes difficult to tell when it's appropriate usage;
  4. Place or allow people to place themselves unquestioningly into one of these members' care without any checks and balances at all;
  5. Make it very, very cumbersome and stressful for a legitimate threat of a highly dangerous nature, which clearly breaks with law, to be investigated at all.


What's the cult? Psychiatry....
