A CIA insider claims the agency knows how to push employees to quit, break down, or kill themselves — a disturbing look at how the spy agency treats its own.

• A former CIA official says agency psychiatrists openly discussed how to drive an employee to resign, take mental leave, or commit suicide.
• The claim: the CIA builds detailed psychological profiles of staff and can weaponize them against anyone who "gets sideways" with the agency.
• Licensed doctors inside the agency's medical office were reportedly nicknamed after a Nazi death-camp physician.
• The story frames the CIA as willing to turn its own tools of mental manipulation on its people.

Outlook: Expect more claims like this to fuel the ongoing fight over trust in and oversight of U.S. intelligence agencies.
