I am against psychiatry.
Please note that what I am opposed to is the profession and the discipline (in all senses of the term). I am against the ideology and the power. If you, as an adult, choose to take "psychiatric" drugs to ease your suffering, I respect your choice. I've used coffee to stabilize my moods, 'shrooms for depth psychology work, and (like so many other people) alcohol to temporarily escape depression and to reduce social anxiety. Self-medication is bad? Just who should be responsible for your mental state if not yourself? That's what adulthood is all about.
