Psychiatry has a long history of pseudoscientific mass diagnosis of undesireables. Slaves who wanted to escape had drapetomania[1]. The holocaust was conducted under psychiatric auspices [2]. Masturbation and alternate sexuality were insanity[3]. And now if you don't strictly adhere to impotent 19th century authoritarian teaching methods you are considered mentally ill.
