>>21789076>how do phsyicologists even know schizophrenia is a thing? The brain is not very well understood, let alone know if they're really talking to an imaginary friend, or if they're just making shit up.Psychiatry is a pseudoscience. They literally make it all up.
A bunch of experts come together and decide which behaviors are a mental illness and which aren't.
The result from this is a document called the DSM which all psychiatrists use to "diagnose" mental illness.
The reality is that psychiatry is the modern equivalent of the Inquisition. They use it as a tool to incarcerate, drug up and torture any group of people that is politically considered undesirable.
People in psychiatric facilities have no rights, and they can do to you much worse than they ever could in prison.
