After the title of the paper (what is it about) the second most important part is the declarations of the authors ties to industry. The fact that there were so many $ ties to Big Pharma shows the conclusions are going to be heavily skewed to favor the paymasters, and therefore, the study is useless.
In war the first casualty is truth. Psychiatry should about moral and philisopical healing eg a social rather than medical science. Big Pharma is business.
The inflection point is the split between biological as seperate from humanistic psychiatry.
Most people wont read this stuff.
Our point of attack is the two domains within psychiatry.

If only the rest of the population understood this.
Sigh........

My two cents, for what its worth.
This guy needs to read Bad Pharma by Ben Goldacre. ( i'm assuming the twit can read!)
Bad Science by Ben Goldacre, but yes. I actually think every regular person needs to read that so they can know what they’re up against.
