Whole books have been written about the corruption of the profession
of psychiatry in America. Most psychiatrists nowadays see only rich
people but push dangerous pills on everybody.
Oddly enough American psychiatry made its peace with capitalist status quo long ago. And it was blind for decades to the mental health catastrophe called " de-institutionalization.
Is there an " adjustment pill " for adolescents for making tolerable the cruel competitive nature of nearly all aspects of their life from school to dating ?
Depression is contagious . How many depressed kids have parents stressed out by Neo- Democrat and Ayn Rand- Republican economics ?
A " world to hope in " for the younger generation ? And Obamacare fails to realize Senator Ted Kennedy's idea of health care-including mental health care- as a " basic human right ".
" What does psychiatry have in common with the US Congress? "Institutional corruption," concludes Psychiatry Under the Influence (Palgrave
Macmillan, 2015), which investigates how drug company money and
psychiatry's own guild interests have corrupted psychiatry during the
past 35 years.
Coauthored by investigative reporter Robert Whitaker and psychologist Lisa Cosgrove, the foreword for Psychiatry Under the Influence is written by Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig, who helped create Harvard's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics' lab on institutional corruption (where both Whitaker and Cosgrove served as fellows)."

I think the neo-Democrat alliance with the hateful New Atheism has undermined traditional " solace and comfort " in the culture of capitalism- which more and more rejects anything but the vacuous ideals of American consumerism.
