Seeking video clips of famous people criticizing psychiatry (Tom Cruise need not apply)
I'm seeking video clips of famous people who have spoken out against psychiatry.... some examples I've found so far (not all are a perfect fit, but they're good):
- Kanye West sharing publicly about how dehumanizing his involuntary commitment was
- John Nash saying in an interview that he was unhappy with how the director of A Beautiful Mind purposely distorted the truth about how he lived much of his adult life WITHOUT psychiatric drugs, because he was afraid telling the truth would get people to stop taking their psych drugs
- YouTuber Etika livestreaming himself while the police were breaking into his home to take him away for an involuntary commitment
- Michael Moore sharing about his findings about psych drugs related to Columbine shootings
- news reports about Brittney Spears showing that her conservator has her locked up against her will

Outlawing nonconsensual psychiatry and psychiatric coercion can be accomplished peacefully. Civil commitment and the insanity defense must be outlawed. Suicide should be respected as a civil and human right for all adults when it is done in private.

Psychiatry is a pseudo medical cult that is allowed to engage in forced conversions.
Psychiatrists are legally allowed to engage in forced conversions. Psychiatry implicitly deals with spiritual and theological issues since suicide prohibitions involve the potential of an afterlife (or at least a return to dust). Psychiatrists and psychological service workers prefer to ignore the fact that coercive psychiatry deals at least implicitly with spiritual and theological issues (like the potential of an after life). Because of all this, psychiatry functions as a pseudo medical cult.

Read the book Psychiatry: The Science of Lies. Psychiatry is effectively the secular religion of our USA. It is even allowed to engage in forced conversions using civil commitment and psychiatric coercion.
