[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 71027, member: 1550"] If this wasn't the Church of Scientology, I'd look at it more closely. They have been trying to discredit psychiatry (with fervor) for a long time. I'm really glad psychiatry exists, even if it's in it's infancy and flawed, and it's both of those things. I'm glad the Scientologists haven't been able to stop research. Just because you can't "prove" something, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Multiple Sclerosis has no test; it can't be proved. Does it not exist? I just don't buy it. People like me would have spent our lives in institutions in the 1950's. I'll take the medications, which have not harmed me, in fact have helped me. Peter Breggin, a Scientologist and Psychiatrist, does talk shows about the harm of Prozac and Ritalin and all medications. I think he's nuts. It's who you want to believe, I guess. One day I believe there will be tests for bipolar and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). They are already isolating genes. Until there are tests that offer proof, we and our kids will always be vulnerable to misdiagnosis and maybe the wrong medication. Yes, it's a risk, but it beats living behind a locked door or sitting in jail, in my opinion. Scientologists have been ranting against psychiatry for a long time. It's against their religion. I'd like to offer me divinitive proof that THEIR religion is the true religion. They can't. I find it ironic. JMO [/QUOTE]
