Yes, because... It neglects those in desperate need of psycological help.
Scientology has a noted hatred of psychiatry and psychological methods of solving mental problems, and regularly incites hatred towards psychology within its members (this goes as far as opening a "Psychiatry: An Industry of Death" museum). This radical opposition to psychiatry has been a main factor in a large amount of mental breakdowns and insanity within scientology and in the most extreme case a young man stabbing his mother 77 times, cited as a failure of the process of audit counselling as a way of achieving mental wellbeing.
Scientology’s opposition to psychiatry stems from many instances of psychiatric abuse which have been recorded and denounced by the church, this hatred of psychiatry is shared by many secular sources. Psychiatry is flawed and disagreeing with a treatment is a citizens right. In a hospital a person has the right to opt out of a procedure they disagree with and other religions have ethical objections to these procedures, such as Jehovah’s witnesses turning down blood transfers and Jewish people refusing pigs hearts. Why should it be different to inform people of your moral stance and hope they see things your way?
