Dr. M, One of your colleagues, a psychiatrist trained at John Hopkins and Harvard submitted this article to my blog for publication. It is a review of Robert Whitaker's book, which if you've not read you should. She concludes her piece with this: This is not the book of a disgruntled patient who is angry at the system. It is the carefully researched and documented expose of a multibillion dollar industry that affects the lives of a least a quarter of the population. It is also an engrossing read, and an accurate depiction of the lives of people who are afflicted with these illnesses. I would recommend it to anyone who has ever used, or had a family member use, psychiatric services or been given psychiatric medication. - The Rise of Psychopharmaceuticals, by Mary Ackerley MD, MDH It is implicit in her statement that "disgruntled patients" lack credibility. I imagine that you have conveniently dismissed the articles on my site and my circumstances as the mad ramblings of such.
