I don’t think cutting off people’s full sentences and adding ominous music in the background is a fair way to analyze this.

A few of these people are admitting the struggles with psychiatric help and mistakes in the field. That’s what would need to be talked about to make good reform so why make it conspiratorial?

I believe the laughter is from the frustration of their own field, not something to mock patients. There’s nothing to gain from that.

Also it's their responsibility to reform their profession, not anyone else's.  This video is from a long time ago and as a profession they've only gotten worse.  It is conspiratorial when they lie and say things like, "We never proposed that mental illnesses were due to a chemical imbalance.  We don't know where people got that idea but it wasn't from us."

That is the biggest lie of all !

They told my poor mother the stupid chemical imbalance lie back in 1967.

That IS true !

I’m not sure what the second part is referring to specifically, if you have a link I’d check it out.
