If you talk to God, you are praying;
If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.
–Thomas S. Szasz, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus at the State University of New York Health Science Center in Syracuse, New York and co-founder of CCHR

“Psychiatry developed about 300 years ago as an arm of the law. It was always, its actual purpose, was always to get rid of unwanted people.”

Mental Illness: “Behavior that other people don’t like.”
