I haven't read this yet, but I wanted to stick something in here, right quick.  It is my opinion that psychiatry is dangerous for a number of reasons, not just their pill pushing.  And when it comes to mental health (unless it has a physical root), the problem is spiritual.  I would highly recommend the confessional rather than "natural remedies".  What good to seek one quack cure or the other?

In the case of exorcism vs psychiatry I believe they are two different masters, and we know what Jesus said about that.  What a shock to learn that there are more cases of posession and they are harder to get rid of (tongue in cheek).  I believe that psychiatry/psychology is another religion and an anti Christian one at that.  The real danger is that it prevents people from obtaining the help they need.  It is a supernatural problem which demands a supernatural solution, not a pill or a lot of blabber.
