Psychiatry Corrupts Criminal Justice System

[From article]
"Damascena had no history of mental problems
Does that mean that if he did have a history of mental illness that would explain his crime and violence? How is that different from claiming that a Black man committed a crime and was violent because he is Black?
[. . .]
Ironically, just two months earlier, in commemoration of World Mental Health Day on October 10, the Health Department of the Federal University of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais had presented a week of programs about the dangers of extreme jealousy on its radio station. It was normal to feel jealousy, but only to acceptable limits, said the department’s Professor Rodrigo Nicolato.
One program of the psychiatric industry to increase its client base is to make expression of human emotions into mental illnesses. Psychiatrists (and women) know that few men are aware of their emotions. Psychiatrists and women use emotions to manipulate men. Psychiatry uses their knowledge of emotions to control humans and to manufacture mental illnesses for profit. Women use emotions only for control.
[. . .]
An excessive preoccupation about being cheated on could indicate a psychiatric problem, Professor Nicolato added, and it was important to pay attention to signs of excessive jealousy. “There are possibilities that a psychotic episode could happen because of jealousy,” Professor Nicolato explained. “The jealous can experience a neurotic conflict. There are situations in which any attitude could be perceived as a clear sign of treachery.” This could provoke a "psychological shock."
Jealousy is a human emotion. How can it be evil, wrong to express an emotion? The Catholic Church recognizes human emotions but psychiatrists criminalize them.
[. . .]
In the absence of any other explanation, this is the motive that police are working to confirm. “Relatives report that he was jealous of her. We don’t know if this was something in his mind or not. [. . .]” Officer Joselito Amaral told The Daily Beast. “What the family and everyone else has said is that there were no psychological problems.”
For police jealousy is motive. But psychiatry makes motive into illness for business purposes. This corrupts the criminal justice system and dehumanizes people.
