Psychiatry's sick compulsion: turning weaknesses into diseases - Los Angeles Times
Excellent article! Great quotes from the article: "As it turns out, the association has been inventing mental illnesses for the last 50 years or so."
"Unlike the rest of medicine, psychiatry diagnoses behavior that society doesn't like. Yesterday it was homosexuality. Tomorrow it will be homophobia."
"The erosion of personal responsibility is, arguably, the most pernicious effect of the expansive role psychiatry has come to play in American life. It has successfully replaced huge chunks of individual accountability with diagnoses, clinical histories and what turn out to be pseudoscientific explanations for deviant behavior. "

"The Vanishing Conscience" by John MacArthur really puts this in perspective. It is amazing to see how the "world" will classify the outworking of sin in people's everyday life and then find a way for people to not be accountable.
