The Marketing of Madness: Are We All Insane? (2010)
Biased and Poorly Researched
While the documentary makes some good points criticizing the many editions of the DSM, overmedication, and lack of independence in drug trials, the whole documentary seems very biased and poorly researched. For example, in the first few minutes they claim that "psychotropic medications have no visible or measurable physical abnormalities to correct", which numerous independent studies can prove otherwise. Aside from this, the whole time I was watching this I felt like I wasn't getting the other side of the story and was intentionally being deceived. As another review mentioned, this documentary utilizes the same information deception techniques that it purports to expose. It does not give both sides of the story. Not one person is shown expressing satisfaction with even one drug.
