I found this brilliant discussion with some serious individuals involved in discussing Psychiatry, on the pro Psychiatry side is Simon Wessley, who is the ex President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The other individual is Declan Doogan, this link will explain why he's there and why he has the opinion he has.

On the side against Psychiatry is Will Self who is quite well known in the UK from being on political shows along with Darian Leader, which if I'm being honest have never heard of before, yet he has books like Will Self that are apparently against the drugging side of Psychiatry.
It's a long watch but it's worth it for a few reasons, the first is that the level of logic on the anti drugging side far exceeds the Psychiatric side, you'll hear the speeches of those that support Psychiatry and it's all utter nonsense, including Simon Wessler being called out a number of times for lying.
Another reason it's a great discussion is the logical questions being asked from the audience, one was a woman who asked why are the drugs being used so dangerous when there are natural, safer remedies available (we've all said this), and another woman described the heavy drugging of someone she knew and the hell they have gone through.
The only issue I had with it is the fact it should have been longer and the questions being asked should have been answered by both sides fully, also you'll see the Psychiatric side has brought along their cult following to cheer and clap after every answer Simon Wessler gives, including his wife who stood up in anger like the old witch she is.
I will be looking into the books that were mentioned that's for sure.
