Exactly. And who is the ostensible authority to appeal to if one thinks that might be what's going on? The potential for Soviet-style involuntary commitment/power struggles not based ideology and turf, but still in part on dissent, is possible but at the level of an individual psychiatrist rather than the State. And: Who guards the guardians?
