 But in this instance it's the insistence that psychiatry is a legitimate branch of medicine and that all mental illness can be boiled down to brain chemicals gone awry that allows us to even *have* mental hygiene laws.  You know what I wish psychiatrists would work on?  Practical short-term solutions to alleviate suffering.  I wish psychiatrists could make people comfortable when they're in an emotional crisis and need to figure out what's going wrong in their lives.  There's certainly a need for that kind of assistance.  But lying to patients, coercing them, forcing them, incarcerating them and setting them up for a lifetime of disability is definitely not the right way to go.   19:41
