I won't even comment on Therapy. I noticed you assumed, and rightly so, the uproar would be over psychiatic drugs? I don't have a problem with Therapy. Is hard to study, and at worst it doesn't seem to have any bad side side effects--besides on the wallet? We do get are feathers ruffled when Psychiartic drugs(mainly tricyclic, and hetricyclic antidepressants) are brought up. Why, because so many of us took them. I took them. My friends took them. I even encouraged a ex-girlfriend to take them. In my case they never worked, but I believed the literature, and thought I was just unlucky. I spent thousands on different drugs for depression and anxiety. I can't put a price on the side effects, and disillusionment. I imagine a lot of people are still on them. They were billed as the Wonder drugs. They were very expensive. Patients and Doctors were equally lied to by drug companies. They caused a lot of unnessary pain, and suffering. Too many people are still on them. I sometimes wonder if there's a correlation between some of these drugs and violence? I know if I was a prescriber, I don't think I would prescribe a heterocyclic Drug(Proxax, Zoloft, etc.). I just don't believe they work, but the industry is trying so hard to still justify their use--in selected patients--you know the "sickest patients seem to get a bit better--sometimes--in some situations?" If the history, and study of Erythromycin is in any way like the history, and study of Prozax; I will never take another antibiotic again. It's not that we hate all Psychiatric drugs, but some of them, especially the Happy Pills; were studied terribly, some even fraudently, and a lot of psychiatric patients are still very leary of a lot of these drugs; And so are the drug companies. I don't see any dancing pills in commercials anymore like I did in the 90's and 2000's? I just see ads by Lawyers. I don't see hubristic Psychiatrists advertising as "Chemical Imbalance Specilists" anymore. Psychiatry was hit hard by the deceitfulness of these drug comapnies. The profession just doesn't have the glamor factor anymore. Patients don't look at them the same way. I actually feel sorry for the honest ones, and the ones who keep their office visit prices reasonable. I couldn't imagine doing my residency in Psychiatry after graduation from med school these days. My fear is the wrong students will be admitted to Psychiatric residencies--students who weren't the best and brightest in medical school? So yes, there's usually an uproar when articles like this hit. I don't care if a particular drug is slightly better than Placebo; it's when they are so close to placebo, or not even close to Placebo when you include all the discarded/badly done studies, and all the metadata that boils my brain. They history of Proxaz makes makes a good read. Personally, I can't even read it anymore; it literally makes my head hurt. http://www.theguardian.com/society/2007/may/13/socialcare.medicineandhealth http://www.theguardian.com/society/2007/may/13/socialcare.me...
