The Trap: Creation of Mental Illness by Psychiatry

From psychiatry's false promise of better lives for all, does it end in a world without meaning? Is freedom narrow and limited, to be defined by the simplistic economic model under which we now live?

This series originally shown on BBC is an in-depth examination of how psychiatry has become intermingled with politics and social norms. It then goes on to discuss the results and effects of this unholy alliance. It's a chilling picture of modern society and psychiatry's use of drugs to coerce people into fitting into a mold of blandness. It even shows how people have been convinced to ask for these mind-numbing drugs.

The introduction of shock therapy to entire societies is discussed in the later epidsodes. The series takes us from a clear demonstration of the fraudulence in modern psychiatry to its inevitable use in the engineering of market economies. Neither existing governmental systems nor idealized ones are allowed to escape examination.

Does it end in a world without meaning? Is freedom narrow and limited, to be defined by the simplistic economic model under which we now live?
