Drug Companies Bankrolling Psyche Doctors
Influence peddling in the field of psychiatry is out of control. An analysis of Minnesota disclosure records by the Pioneer Press and the consumer watchdog group Public Citizen shows that, between 2002 and 2006, 187 Minnesota doctors received payments from drug companies worth a grand total of $7.38 million, (or almost $40k each.)
The next highest specialty was neurology, with 99 doctors receiving $2.89 million, according to the analysis (around $29k each.)
In psychiatry, drug makers underwrite decision makers at every level of care. They pay doctors who prescribe drugs, teach about the underlying diseases that require the drugs, perform studies and write guidelines on how to use the drugs that other doctors feel bound to follow.

COMMENT: The drugging of America, especially America's children, has become so accepted it is barely questioned. Sadness, anger and anxiety over life's difficulties are part of the human experience that should not be simply medicated away. Try natural methods, including EFT, allergy elimination, acupuncture, and SAMe before reaching for the Paxil or Effexor.
