http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...60857846500132

Psychiatrists openly admitting at the 2006 APA convention that they have no scientific tests to prove mental illness and have no cures for these unproven mental illnesses.

It's cult characteristics set aside, I think that is one of the reasons that certain preachings of Scientology actually make sense to some people.

I am a psychiatrist, and I don't quite follow your point. Are you saying that mental illnesses don't exist simply because we have no specific blood tests for them?

I could write pages about why the Scientology folks are anti-psychiatry (primarily because the founder was snubbed by the director of the APA during a particularly grandiose moment.)

Why? It seems you're the one who for some reason doesn't believe they exist.
