Libertarians should focus more on the harm and consequences of psychiatric coercion and nonconsensual psychiatry.

According to libertarian psychiatrist Thomas Szasz, psychiatric coercion is medicalized terrorism.

Szasz wrote a whole book about the relationship between libertarianism and psychiatry, it is entitled Faith in Freedom. More self proclaimed libertarians should read it.
