Dr Szazz said he believed that Psychiatry should never be used involuntarily. He never changed that reasoning.

Diamond uses cosmetics for his point, which Szasz totally destroys by Logic. I am 100% on the aide of Szasz. I work with so called mentally disabled and forensic people. And his work inspires me.

The general public doesn't care about what psychiatrists do or say, as long as their "loved" ones are "taken care of." I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but we've gotta be honest. I really encourage everyone to read Szasz's, Psychiatry: The Science of Lies. The section regarding the man who impersonated being a psychiatrist is quite informative.

I personally know a person, that was given very toxic illegal drugs without him knowing it. The person ended up in a mental hospital, was held there against his will, and ended up with a schizophrenia diagnosis and a life long prescription for legal toxic drugs from a company with a long criminal history (eli lilly). Despite the fact that the doctors found the drug on the person, they were unable to draw any conclusions. Instead of using common sense letting the person that had no serious life problems and was a child sober up, they drugged him up and stuck a label on him that he now identifies with, and feels personally attacked if anyone disputes the diagnosis. There is no way that a psychiatrist can differentiate between a person under influence of drugs and a seriously disturbed person that is plagued by life problems. Maybe they could have partial success, if their training prepared them for such situations or if their job description involved giving a f about dealing with problems of other people. They just lock you up and drug you up.

Szasz was the ultimate badass. i dedicate a lot to him in my new book. i truly aim to follow in his footsteps

What a pleasant surprise to fall upon this video! Thanks for uploading

the 2 guys clearly were in deep psychological distress during this interview especially the host haha - Szasz was the only one speaking sense and keeping his talk logical and not poetic and BS.

What an amazing discussion (I dare call it a debate). I found it especially informative as I am currently employed in a state psychiatric hospital. While I sympathize with Dr. Szasz’s views, I am much more partial to Dr. Diamond’s. Mental illness is a real thing and, in some cases, it causes people to lose their agency. When these individuals without agency commit crimes, it is our duty as a society to attempt to rehabilitate them. Now for the questions of who makes the determination as to when an individual loses their agency, or how do we as a society commence with said rehabilitation, I do not have the complete answers for. We live in a civilized society after all and I would like to think that we should try our best to keep it that way.

Mental Illness is a metaphor

You are willing to use violence to force what you consider to be treatment on people you consider to be sick. You are an agent of social control, not medicine or science. Your claim that "mental illness is a real thing" is not provable by any anatomical or biological means. And it is peculiar given that the "mind" is a metaphor, not a part of the body. People in your position have declared everything from masturbation, to homosexuality, to epilepsy to be "mental illnesses," and have imprisoned and "treated" such persons against their wills. If someone has a genuine brain disease, it would be malpractice to refer him to a psychiatrist rather than a neurologist.

Long live Thomas szasz✍️

Excellent

The link to the original doesn't work, please update to include

English was not the primary language of Thomas Szazz, although he did exceptionally well, but he still had to pause to think of how he would translate. Dr Diamond took full advantage of it, and used manipulation in the same way that Thomas Szazz said the psychiatrists do in the courtroom. He obviously had studied Dr Szazz ahead of time and made himself overwhelming with jargon speech.

If I comment here, will it show up, or does it need to be screened to prevent questioning the medical establishment in this critical time?

Your comment appears. If it is censored at any time, that will be done by KZread, which is always possible.

What is The Truth representative of as far as aired visual content? And who does it aim to please in 2024?

During the second half of the show Dr Szazz brought up the Inquisitions.

Dr Diamond did bring up psychiatrists abusing this system of law

This is maybe very early 60s looking
