Conveniently learn whats important about psychiatry in a fun way.

Psychiatry does unwanted things (such as imprisonment in "mental hospitals" or forced drugging) to unwanted persons called "mental patients" who are "diagnosed" as having the "medical disease" of "mental illness". Coercing these people hurts them. They are targeted for being deviant or disagreeable to others. Dont believe me? Learn more in the app. Prepare to have your preconceptions challenged.

The most important fact about psychiatry is that it coerces people, and it could coerce you or your loved ones. Psychiatrists imprison and drug people without a trial which is, if you think about it, very scary.
