The Only Medical Specialty That Survives on Lies

by Peter C. Gøtzsche

“Psychiatry is the only specialty I know of that causes more harm than good; in fact, vastly more harm than good. This disaster can only survive because psychiatrists constantly lie to the public about what they can achieve with their drugs. Psychiatrists also routinely violate elementary human rights about informed consent and use forced treatment even though it is harmful. The title of my most recent psychiatry book summarises the issues: ‘Is psychiatry a crime against humanity?’ As you shall see, I am not exaggerating.” (09/08/25)
