This is a good point, Brother Nobar. Psychiatrists reject the Bible, so they measure madness with a broken ruler. But even by their own corrupt standards, psychiatrists are more likely to suffer from so-called "mental illness" than the general population. I came across this blog article today.
Quote:
Study after study has shown that psychiatrists have higher rates of mental illness than the general population.
Research published in 2001 revealed that 56% of female psychiatrists have a family history of mental illness, and just over 40% have experienced one themselves – almost twice the rate of other doctors. Undoubtedly as a consequence, psychiatrists have double the rate of suicide of the general population.
Psychiatry is certainly a stressful job, but research has also found that there are higher rates of mental disorder in future psychiatrists, suggesting many go into the profession precisely because of their experiences.

Psychiatrists set themselves up as paragons of mental health, but in reality they are likely crazier than most of their patients. This is the height of hypocrisy. The Pharisees of Jesus' time were also hypocrites. They set themselves up as leaders, telling everyone to trust them and follow them because they knew what they were doing. But Jesus said they were a case of the blind leading the blind.
Mat 15:7-14
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
It's not a ditch the psychiatrist and his patient are in danger of falling into, but hell itself. Because they reject the Bible and are false teachers, psychiatrists also share with the Pharisees in preventing others from entering the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
God has already set out His diagnosis and cure for madness in His Word. Diagnosis: everyone who sins is mad. Cure: repent. Psychiatrists won't teach you this. They offer an alternative "gospel". They are Pharisees.
