Posted January 31, 2013
To understand even a little bit about real psychiatry, versus the false picture, you have to know that someone running around the streets naked and screaming has nothing to do with a mental disorder. If you can’t grasp that, you’ll always have a lingering sense that psychiatry is on the right track. It isn’t, and never was.

Although his recent statement on antioxidants is misleading, the mainstream media has picked it up, which may cause some confusion. Read more.
