Description: Dr. Fraad explains the ways disease diagnoses of mental health have contributed to private profit and pill pushing. "As a practitioner who's been in practice for 47 years, I have helped numerous people out of miserable situations and out of the human misery in which they found themselves, usually for good reason. And I totally reject the disease model, the medicalized model that gives psychiatrists prestige and lies that there's brain diseases that we don't have." - Harriet Fraad This is a clip from Capitalism Hits Home [S05 E08] "The Business of Mental Health".
