Malpractice is mostly about errors of negligence. The accusation here was about intentional behaviour, which would actually be criminal.

Is that the accusation? My understanding is the parent was trying to say that incentives can bias a professionals decision making.
Yet you didn’t actually explain where it falls apart.
Valid malpractice claims are reasonably common in other much more measurable types of medicine.
It’s often a good idea to get a second or third opinion when you see a normal doctor.
To be wary of a branch of medicine like psychiatry with its far fewer checks and balances seems prudent.
