Psychiatrists - I detest them

All psychiatrists do is simply tell their patients to be religious, and they only enter the profession to presume control over their patients. They don't seem to get it's not 1900, people don't respect positions any more.
Why do we need psychiatrists?

If one did, I would consider it abuse of power and reporth them...
And yes, we do need pschiatrists... To diagnose and issue happy pills (apparently).
Well in my estimation, psychiatrists are evil. They tell people all sorts of foolishness, and like to dominate and control their patients.
Their "profession" is also grounded on a faulty premise, as normalcy is subjective.
Indeed. If anything, I've felt looked down on by mental health professionals for having a faith.
Double post. Fail.
OK, so it's OK?
As for the religion thing, as mentioned above they shouldn't really be bringing religion up. If they are, I just wanted to check that you are in the UK? Just this is primarily a UK based message board.
I have in the past seen a lot of mal feeling directed towards people of that profession; now I don't doubt for one minute that many people do encounter issues with these professionals from time to time, but it does make me wonder.
I guess its the case that on a web forum such as this, that many people will only post when there is a perceived problem and they are looking for advice. I guess its not the case that people would come on here saying how good and helpful a psychiatrist is. However, as stated above, I do believe that many people will encounter genuine issues, but such a professional body cant always be wrong the majority of the time.
Is it not perhaps akin to the 15 year olds who are adamant that they are grown up and mature, and will argue the point till blue in the face, who then in later years realise how young they still were?
Just some random thoughts that is.
I'm seeing one on friday so I'll be able to add a little more to this but they are often odd to say the least.
