However medication some times does help people get to a more 'stable' position to deal with issues that may be making their mental health issues worse. Sometimes psychiatry is good to help people talk through things and teach them different way to deal with stressors.
Whereas anti-psychiatry may make a person with a daily battle with specific illnesses such as severe psychosis or mania or schizophrenia worse and therefore the may not only harm themselves but also harm others unintentionally.
At the end of the day psychiatry is only as effective as one can make of it. It depends on how much you put into each session and the outcome you would want.
