While the recovery movement is making some small progress, the Psych doctors, who appear to be frightened of people recovering, continue to place bureaucratic obstacles in the way of recovery. Having established themselves as a bureaucratic dictatorship, which refuses to admit to the possibility of other approaches, they become more frightening each year. On the bright side, this may drive more people to Vibrational methods (which includes homeopathy, but is not limited to it) of healing. But we could lose the 20 - 25% of psychiatry which is helpful, as they continue to lose credibility. There are many new proposed diagnosies which are quite troubling.
