Diagnostic & Statistical Manual: Psychiatry's Deadliest Scam

The documentary Psychiatry’s Deadliest Scam critiques the DSM, psychiatry’s diagnostic manual, for labeling normal behaviors as mental illnesses. It argues that the DSM lacks scientific basis and fuels a massive industry built on overdiagnosis and overmedication. Through interviews and analysis, it claims this practice jeopardizes civil liberties and ethical treatment.
