Psychiatry: An Industry of Death (2006)
I wouldn't recommend this documentary to anyone,ó
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 END
In 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.
