However the idea of the mentally ill as a category of persons distinct from the rest of the human race continues. It is in the interest of these drug companies and their shareholders, which include many doctors, that psychiatry widen its net, constantly bringing more and more people into the sphere of those who are forced to ingest psychiatric drugs for the rest of their lives. Their motives and their lack of a sense of social responsibility are like those of the tobacco companies. A drug has recently been developed which makes people less shy. Tobacco companies do not need to force their customers to smoke since tobacco is highly addictive.
Most people find psychiatric drugs almost intolerable.
Some researchers search for the causes of mental illness, particularly schizophrenia, ad infinitum. Science is no where nearer to understanding it than when it was first defined. For most people, mental illness has a career path from which there is no escape. There is a vast industry profiting financially from the abject misery of mental patients whose problems are exacerbated by an effort to create hysteria, thereby making them outcasts. This makes sense of the otherwise cruel and senseless profession of psychiatry.
