I think perhaps some perceive psychiatry/psychology as entities unto themselves and even as belief systems, as opposed to the complex and still somewhat subjective sciences they represent. Therefore dissent with any element of it is seen as bashing the whole system.
Idk, but I notice a lot of conflation of ideas occurring here on PC, especially when it comes to debating the opinions of others. It can really bog down the discourse.
