    Experts Defining Mental Disorders Are Linked to Drug Firms

    Every psychiatric expert involved in writing the standard diagnostic criteria for disorders such as depression and schizophrenia has had financial ties to drug companies that sell medications for those illnesses, a new analysis has found.

    Is this what you call collusion?

    Of the 170 experts in all who contributed to the manual that defines disorders from personality problems to drug addiction, more than half had such ties, including 100 percent of the experts who served on work groups on mood disorders and psychotic disorders. The analysis did not reveal the extent of their relationships with industry or whether those ties preceded or followed their work on the manual.
    [...]
    The analysis comes at a time of growing debate over the rising use of medication as the primary or sole treatment for many psychiatric disorders, a trend driven in part by definitions of mental disorders in the psychiatric manual.
    The mentally ill may as well be possessed by demons for all the care and understanding they are given by AmeriKKKan society with its protestant elitist values and bible thumping to orgasm. If you dare to go crazy, or be born that way, FUCK YOU. If therapy might help you and drugs are cheaper, and they are, get drugged and be quiet or rave and suffer or drop dead.
    [...]
    Just say no to Big Pharma!
