“When diagnosis becomes deception—unmasking the billion-dollar industry behind the DSM.”
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.
