Psychiatry
Mental illness is a myth. Psychiatrists are not concerned with mental illnesses and their treatments. In actual practice they deal with personal, social and ethical problems in living.
Thomas Szasz, The Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct (1974)
Psychiatry
Not only psychiatry itself but also the values reflected in its statistical definition of “normalcy” serve to condition men to habitual, unthinking, conformist behavior.
Benjamin R. Barber, “Forced to be Free: An Illiberal Defense of Liberty,” Superman and Common Men (New York: 1971), pp. 68-69
Psychiatry
I can't stand feeble, robotic psychiatrists. They give you false drugs and turn you into a zombie.
Ian Brady, as quoted in Evening Standard, Tue 25 June 2013, pp.1-4
Metals released into the atmosphere from human activities pose a significant risk to ecosystems and human health. Small airborne particles with a diameter of less than 10 microns can be inhaled and then absorbed into the alveolar tissue of the lungs, resulting in damage.
