Only two reviews from viewers from above link..
.very little written ...also the two reviews are completely different, a positive and very negative.
Read for yourself, if you want..

Here is another review from ..Top Documentary Film.com
at that link there are many reviews, and long discussion

http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/marketing-of-madness-are-we-all-insane/

Please NOTE very important:
According to the discussion at ..Top Documentary Films, link above, . The Church of Scientology is behind this film...If that is true, and I only know what those comments say, then there is an awful stigma to what this film says, no matter what it presents

Look for comments 6 and 9 in the Top Documentary link.....

At the end of it, they say to find "cchr.org."

Here's what cchr.org is.

What is the Citizens Commission on Human Rights?

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is a nonprofit mental health watchdog, responsible for helping to enact more than 150 laws protecting individuals from abusive or coercive practices. CCHR has long fought to restore basic inalienable human rights to the field of mental health, including, but not limited to, full informed consent regarding the medical legitimacy of psychiatric diagnosis, the risks of psychiatric treatments, the right to all available medical alternatives and the right to refuse any treatment considered harmful.

CCHR was co-founded in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus Dr. Thomas Szasz at a time when patients were being warehoused in institutions and stripped of all constitutional, civil and human rights.

Funny how I seem to be getting psychic in my old age! They start out telling lies and taking cheap shots at traditional healing systems up to modern psychiatry, and go relentlessly on from there with their blatantly anti-shrink agenda. "Hmmm... Isn't that what actor and Scientologist Tom Cruise was ranting about when he was jumping up and down on Oprah's couch?", I thought to myself. Maybe this two hour diatribe was put out by Scientology - and why the heck are there French subtitles with English language narration? Something's gotta be fishy, I wondered. Unable to stand any more of it, I paused the video and scrolled down thru the responses - and voila! I saved myself two hours!

Look ma - no drugs! Raves Scientology about their supposed cure for all mental illness. But nevertheless, they do manage to find a new "solution" for their acolytes / patients that still leaves them addicted for life and cleans out their bank account with a giant sucking sound. Instead of taking the latest psychotropic or mood altering drug, just pay us your life savings trying to get your Xenu implants removed!
