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.

Mean while, in Western Australia
A psychiatrist faces suspension for failing to treat properly a teenager shortly before the youth bashed his mother's boyfriend to death five years ago. According to this report in the West Australian online, the Medical Board of WA ruled yesterday that Dr Zdenek Srna's inaction following a one-hour appointment with the 17-year-old nine days before the killing amounted to gross carelessness. But it said there was no evidence to back claims he was incompetent. The youth's family has launched civil proceedings against Dr Srna.
