substitute

Whoah, take a Valium or something. No need to take it personally. Nobody's said that psychiatry/pharmacology is worthless, or that it's not fair that it doesn't magically fix everything, or any of that. substitute is just saying that calling it a "science" is rather presumptuous, since we have only the most rudimentary idea of how the brain works, and the mechanism by which drugs and therapy cause physiological changes is basically still magic as far as we know. Not sure where this whole "detested, harmful, irreverent of humanity" bit came from...
