Is psychiatry a crime against humanity? My new book is a frontal attack on biological psychiatry, which uses drugs for almost any mental health issue believing they can fix some non-existent biological abnormality. Download it for free: https://t.co/5qpI5Ma300

I am 💯% convinced that a moritorium must be declared on all deficit focused & damage-centered research. As this sort of pathologising research is being used as a gateway to community harming policies. Researchers that are profiling only deficits should be stopped at the gate.
