Dear Tina,
Is psychiatry bad like Tom Cruise and L. Ron Hubbard say? Please advise.

Dear Curious,
You know who hates psychiatry more than anything? Psychiatric patients.
Think about it Curious, would you ask someone with a mouth full of rotting teeth what they think about dentistry? Would you take their opinion to heart regardless of how many books they’ve read on the subject? Nope.
Since, no one in their right mind goes to see a psychiatrist. It is easy to have reports of them being connected to the CIA, the Alien Conspiracy and fluorinated water (those and a host of other plots that an aluminum hat will take care of).
So you may want to consider the source before dismissing an entire discipline.
Besides an industry that stopped giving lobotomies 50 years ago, can’t be all bad.
Tina
