Most people suffer from mental issues, how severe it is varies between humans.
Psychiatry is supposed to help people with mental illness but unfortunately there is several issues with the so-called help they are offering
- they cannot accurately diagnose people https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2990547/
- the medication they offer is addictive or will create dependence.
- they may start treating you against your will "for your own good".
- severe side effects from psychiatric drugs https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3476840/
Long term outcomes are clearly bad

There is no denying that the drugs they offer can feel good and a lot of people want to get their hands on the addictive drugs they are offering, people on drug will often think they are being helped by the drug when in reality they are just spiralling into an addiction

Many people have a religious faith in psychiatrists and therapists and expect them to magically solve their problem, in reality these people are just humans and you might get more out of chatting with people online about your specific issue. In the case of gender dysphoria they just gave up and decided just to offer hormones and surgery since they are clueless about how to actually cure the disorder.
It's natural to be depressed when your life is bad and the solution is to take action to improve your life, psychiatry will instead give people drugs and electroshocks to archive short term improvement at any cost, as if grand mal seizures would be good for you. They simply turn what could have been a temporary issue (psychosis, depression, etc) into a chronic problem via extended usage of psychiatric drugs and other brain-damaging treatments.

Mental illness can be due to biological factors such as diet psychiatry will not fix that, nor will they be able to fix any of your genetic issues.

Psychiatric drug studies are often rigged and when that fails often the results are not published at all

It's unclear if there are any situations where you benefit from drugging yourself unless you await a certain death that will come to you soon, in that case the long term consequences don't matter and you may as well numb yourself so you will feel less bad about your horrible situation assuming there is nothing to be done about it.
Psychiatry is very useful if you want to control a population, label people opposing the system as mentally ill, when they are diagnosed as mentally ill they can be locked up at institutions "for their own good" and they might never get out.
Due to the risk of being treated by these quacks against your will you should not talk about mental health issues such as suicide thoughts or hallucinations with anyone who can find out your real identity, do not even talk to a psychiatrist and by avoiding them you will be mostly safe. If you need to went about something use tor or safer to hide your ip address and you will be more free to talk about hearing voices or whatever mental health issue you struggle from.
If you end up in a psychiatric ward it's recommended that you pretend to take the medications they prescribe and make them think the pill got you better 96 only take it to court as a last resort since there isn't any actual due process anyway (expect to lose).
