Conversion Therapy
 

Physicians - which include psychiatrists and psychologists - are not supposed to harm patients. Conversion therapy has been proven harmful and ineffective. Plus, being LGBTQ is no more a choice than being straight is. If therapy can't turn a straight person gay, then it can't turn a gay person straight. Someone is born LGBTQ or straight. You can't change it.
