An online news source, Blog Critics Magazine, ran an opinion piece entitled “A Psychiatrist Airs His Professional Doubts” by psychiatrist Michael Benjamin, who completely undermines the psychiatric profession.

Prevention is a distant dream…In the adult population, generally speaking, the influence of the Drug Companies is terrifying.
