(Part 3) Reddit mentions: The best psychiatry books

I'm not saying that autistic people don't exist and have problems, some of them very severe. I'm saying that the number of people who've been "diagnosed" as "on the autism spectrum" is ridiculous. And overdiagnosing autism is just the tip of the iceberg. The medical profession has been careening from one fad to another for a couple of decades and a certain segment of the population is eating it up. This desire to be labeled "busted" isn't limited to trans people. I see it in the GC subreddits, too. You're nobody unless you have at least several medical/psychiatric problems conveniently designated by initials: MPD, ADHD, PTSD, GID, ASD, SPD, SID etc.. Toss recovered memories in the list of fads, too. The more afflictions, the better. The more nebulous your affliction, the better, too. It makes it easier for claim that you're too fucked up to hold down a real job and function as a self-supporting adult. Honestly, it's very hard to take seriously folks with with countless afflictions. Why sugarcoat it? It's bullshit.

A delusion of perception is where a normally perceived object (whistle) is given delusional meaning (I knew there was a plot to attack me). There are two stages: 1. a normal perception and 2. attribution of delusional meaning.

The attribution is abnormal and the meaning is hard to understand. The meaning is often self-referential. For patients the time span between 1 and 2 can be minutes to years.

Not the same Harvey Weinstein everyone is familiar with at this point. Also bare in mind the publication that first disseminated these documents did so in an article first printed in 1996.

As for the book above, a brief synopsis :

> Dr Weinstein chronicles how he spent eight years fighting to help obtain justice for his father, who, along with eight other Canadians, was suing the CIA for negligence in its sponsorship of Dr Ewen Cameron's mind control experiments. That programme included lengthy periods of multiple electroshocks, hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD, prolonged sensory deprivation, forced sleep, induced insulin comas, and psychic driving - an attempt to alter behaviour by forcing patients to listen to taped messages over and over again. In his book, Dr Weinstein describes his feelings of horror and helplessness while watching his father's health and personality be destroyed as he underwent Cameron's experimental protocol. "Psychiatry and the CIA: Victims of Mind Control" is Harvey Weinstein's personal account of the events at the Allan Memorial Institute. A chronicle of a medical scandal of horrific proportions, this book is also a story of government misconduct, deceit, and cover-ups. Dr Weinstein further raises questions about the vulnerability of contemporary medicine to the abuse of patients in the context of repeated episodes of ethical transgressions during this century.
