Excerpt from this article:

"1. Get 'Em On Drugs and Out the Door ...
4. Money Determines the Diagnosis ...
5. Money Determines What Truth is Told ...
7. You Are Just a Number in a Bean Counter's Register. The bottom line is that it's about the bottom line. So many clients, so much money. Keep the practices full, the insurance companies appeased, and the revolving door turning."

Psychotics live in them
Psychiatrists collect the rent!
