Psychiatric and mental health systems used to discredit targets
When a person is targeted for destruction by a government (e.g. whistleblowers), the mental health profession comes in handy. The extreme harassment that can be deployed against a target, thanks to the informant networks in this country, is so intense that many targets will have their sanity questioned when they report it. In addition the tactics are specifically designed to mimic the officially recognized symptoms of mental illness. If a target makes the mistake of entrusting her mind to a pill-pusher with a medical degree, she's screwed.
The Hippocratic Oath simply doesn't come into play in these cases. It's very easy to take a pledge to heal the sick when it doesn't cost you anything, and may even create business for you. It's quite another matter when a member of the secret police (yes, they exist) takes you aside and says, "You will deny this person care, you will prescribe these mind-destroying drugs, or we will destroy you as we destroyed her."
