Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of mental disorders. These include various maladaptations related to mood, behaviour, cognition, and perceptions. See glossary of psychiatry.
Psychiatry
Since this is the age of science, not religion, psychiatrists are our rabbis, heroin is our pork, and the addict is the unclean person.
Thomas Szasz, The Second Sin (New York: 1973), p. 64
Psychiatry
I can't stand feeble, robotic psychiatrists. They give you false drugs and turn you into a zombie.
Ian Brady, as quoted in Evening Standard, Tue 25 June 2013, pp.1-4
Psychiatry
Mental illness is a myth. Psychiatrists are not concerned with mental illnesses and their treatments. In actual practice they deal with personal, social and ethical problems in living.
Thomas Szasz, The Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct (1974)
