Documenting Psychiatrists Behaving Badly


Of all professions, psychiatrists seem to get into the most trouble. I have been collecting stories about psychiatric screwups for a while. Sadly, it has been disgustingly easy to do. We post stories with links to the original sources. We couldn't make this stuff up if we wanted to. My Name is Sickmind Fraud.

An Analogy:
There's a place in a large city with very bad drinking water, and kids are always getting sick with dysentery. So you keep treating the dysentery, but meanwhile it would be much better to clean up the drinking water... The drugs work on the dysentery for about 48 hours, but you're NOT treating the problem. And the problem is NOT genetic.
