Psychiatry: An Industry of Death

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights lays out its case against modern psychiatry across two hours of interviews, archival footage, and case histories. Former psychiatrists, attorneys, and patients describe electroshock treatment, lobotomies, and psychiatric drugging, arguing that diagnoses like ADHD and depression were invented or exaggerated to expand a profitable industry rather than to treat disease. The film revisits asylums and state hospitals from earlier decades, using period footage of patients restrained or sedated to argue that little changed beneath the modern language of mental health care. It links pharmaceutical company funding to psychiatric research and diagnostic manuals, and features families describing relatives harmed or killed, in their telling, by prescribed medication. The narration is blunt and prosecutorial throughout, building toward the claim that psychiatry as an institution causes more damage than the conditions it claims to treat. Whatever a viewer makes of the argument, the film lays out its evidence and witnesses in full rather than gesturing at them, and it is worth watching for the extent of the case it tries to build.
