The most popular product that Sigmund Freud - who became a billionaire with it, you should visit his house - sold was to testify in court about his theory. That women (in many cases minors) subconsciously and often consciously want to be raped by their father (and/or family) and therefore only have themselves to blame for "certain crimes" happening to them.

He did not just sell testimony. He also sold life imprisonment - without any chance for parole, unless your family stops paying - for the victims.
Over time the industry that grew from his example often lead to unbelievably extreme violence by the "patients". I can't imagine how that could possibly have happened. Patients who behave, get out, then commit mass murder of their own family. Again, I wonder how that could have happened.
So there are "a few" problems caused by these institutions that we don't seem to have found a good way of dealing with.
And of course, people keep lying about it. Like this article. It's acting like voluntary mental health isn't widely available - it is. This is about large-scale "involuntary commitment", about locking up large amounts of people against their will, without direct cause.
The only official reason for imprisoning these people is to be that people who make money on said imprisonment - the "doctors" deem it a medical necessity. Supposedly to counteract self-destructive behavior, which of course includes alcohol use, smoking ...
The real reason is also mentioned. That doesn't often happen. Namely to get "ugly" people off "our" streets. It says nothing about treatment actually being able to help or not (and of course there's an incredible amount of scientific data that keeps giving the same result: involuntary treatment doesn't work)
In other words, if this article truly wants to defend the case for helping these people it could do a LOT better job of doing that.
