Breggin lacks credibility as a psychiatrist. I watched an interview of him on if I remember correctly, Sixty Minutes. This was six or seven years back I think. They mentioned he has no hospital privilges anywhere, none will give him any.
He is strongly connected to the anti-psychiatry movement and the groups that strongly push this fallacious idea that severe mental illnesses have no biological basis whatsoever. We all know that is bs.
While modern psychiatry has many many things wrong with it and needs an overhaul IMO, going in the direction of Breggin, et. al. would be in the wrong direction for things such as schizophrenia, bipolar, major depression, severe anxiety issues.
