Psychiatric institutions can lock up innocent people just like the justice system does.

While the liars and narcissists they were surrounded by are off scot-free.

In a time when people say we need more mental institutions I wish more people would call out the downsides to them, and psychiatry in general, for many reasons, but here I want to highlight that people -- the psychologists -- are flawed and susceptible to bad cultures. They can ruin the lives of people because of their ignorance and mental laziness and arrogance. They're the ones who can bully a healthy person into mental health crises and then its like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Havent listened yet and I note the title but I wanted to make a remark off this point that Im hearing of for my first time:

"that one man could launch a revolution against a huge formidable branch of medicine—Organized Psychiatry—and win staggering victories."
