    Funny, that. Stalin’s regime said the same thing. A lot of dissenters were labeled “mentally ill,” and tortured in mental hospitals.

      a lot of my professors in psychiatry can’t explicitly let their political leanings be known, but they have STRONGLY hinted that they are pissed off by the weaponization of mental health for political ends.

      Actively speaking out and disagreeing with your institution’s official view point of “silence/neutrality” is pretty much grounds for termination, Tenure or no Tenure.
