SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

mellerk I stopped watching this right at the criticism of DSM. To be diagnosed by DSM for depression : You have had an episode of depression lasting at least two weeks with at least five of the following symptoms: (1) You are depressed, sad, blue, tearful. (2) You have lost interest or pleasure in things you previously liked to do. (3) Your appetite is much less or much greater than usual and you have lost or gained weight. (4) You have a lot of trouble sleeping or sleep too much. (5) You are so agitated, restless, or slowed down that others have begun to notice. (6) You are tired and have no energy. (7) You feel worthless or excessively guilty about things you have done or not done. (8) You have trouble concentrating, thinking clearly, or making decisions. (9) You feel you would be better off dead or have thoughts about killing yourself. AND These symptoms are severe enough to upset your daily routine, or to seriously impair your work, or to interfere with your relationships. AND The depression does not have a specific cause like alcohol, drugs, medication side effect, or physical illness. AND Your depression is not just a normal reaction to the death of a loved one.The documentary was saying everyone fits into these categories. Sorry but thats a lie. People should use their digression - If you fit this i would suggest first seeing a psychologist or talking to a friend to get some clarity on the reason why you may be feeling this way, however if you feel in desperate need for an escape go to the psychiatrist who will give you some drugs that will hopefully only be needed for a short period of time until your body naturally can cope on its own.Psychiatrists are trained in medicine first so thats what they know - they will try and fix problems using medicine which isn't always the best way however sometimes is appropriate. The reason they prescribe so much is because thats what their job is - if you want someone to talk about your problems with go to a friend or family member however if it something out of their hands and you don't know how to handle it try a psychologist.DSM is very good - if someone is prescribing you medication and not using DSM I would think critically about their motives and look into side effects and misuse of the drug.This documentary is just so 1 sided its ridiculous - its actually an incredibly unscientific way of looking at what we know.

mrtraska If I could give this film a zero out of 10, I would. I'm betting the two good reviews it got here were from Scientologists, considering that they produced this crap. I don't think psychiatry is without its faults, and I think the rest of the medical profession needs to demand more accountability from psychiatry and that hard data from repeatable research will, over time, determine which psychiatric treatments work and which don't. But I want data on that, and NOT from scientologists or their supporters! They're nutcases, and their assertions are neither plausible nor backed up by peer reviewed research. This is a jeremiad riddled with assertions, nothing more, and richly deserves contempt. But it certainly doesn't deserve your time or any of your money.

joe_048 I found this documentary to be extremely informative and important in today's world, what with the flood of drug advertising hitting us daily in the media. There are so many new diseases and disorders it makes one think our doctors have been doing some great research and finding new diseases, and coming up with just the right pill for them...but this is NOT the case. Watch this documentary and find out the real reasons we're seeing so many new disorders and their treatments. It has nothing to do with science nor medicine! If you suffer from depression you would be better off talking with a friend or a clergyman than taking a prescription, psychotropic drug for it. Everyone should get very familiar with this important documentary.

inzaghi-2 This documentary is one of the most important documentaries to protect yourself, your family, and others about the extreme dangers of the pseudoscience fraud of psychiatry and psychology. If you want to learn about psychiatry and psychology and its extreme dangers, this documentary is extremely important and will give you all the facts you need. We live in a world today of psychiatrists having power to drug and abuse every person on the planet and make them a patient for life for profit. This documentary will tell you the facts and truths about psychiatry and psychology and how to avoid this dangerous pseudoscience fraud so you can protect yourself and your family and never become a victim of this dangerous cult. I applaud CCHR and Scientology for making this documentary and teaching the world about the truths and facts of the great fraud of psychiatry and psychology. This documentary along with "Psychiatry An Industry Of Death" saved my life from taking dangerous, toxic, mind altering drugs that are not cures. I am now off these toxic poisons after 18 years of use and feel much better. I never knew it was the psychiatric drugs causing all of my physical and psychological problems and illnesses. I was brainwashed and tricked by psychiatrists and the system that the sickly feelings i had was from my so called "underlying" so called "mental illness". Now that i'm off the drugs and thanks to this documentary i feel better and have distanced myself from psychiatrists and psychologists forever. I thank CCHR and Scientology for telling me the truth and facts about the great scam of psychiatry and psychology and they saved my life. Don't fall for what psychiatrists and psychologists tell you. All their diseases are invented and made up!.(Highly Recommended Documentary!) Thanks CCHR!!
