nz11 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Thanks Peng Be interesting to know the extent of Dr Jane Morris's ties to pharma. As a consultant she would no doubt have strings attached somewhere. How many journal articles ,books has she written and how many times has she been called as an expert witness in ad court cases? Why do they always give these performing seals the last say. Which is often the voice that sticks in peoples minds. Be good to ask her for a reference for one of these 'many studies' . Suppose if requested she would just say Study 329 i guess. Dr Morris, a consultant psychiatrist at Aberdeen's Royal Cornhill Hospital, said she was "absolutely astonished" by the way Prof Healy had interpreted the literature on antidepressants. She said there were many studies that demonstrated antidepressant drugs can be the most effective treatment for young people with depressive disorders. But she said it was important to see whether the benefits of the medication outweighed the risks. Dr Morris said people should not alarmed by the rise in the number of people accessing treatment. "We should regard that in fact as part of the catch-up period that some people with these incredibly distressing, and ultimately life-threatening disorders, are now getting the help that they need," she said. .............................. 'incredibly distressing....life threatening disorders;' sounds like she is describing wdl symptoms of these drugs! incredibly, ultimately... pharma marketing dept. ? "What a terrible message it is that when a teenager is going through the trauma of growing up we tell them they are ill. And that they have to turn to something outside of themselves to get better." Newman 2016 Thought for the day: Lets stand up, and let’s speak out , together. G Olsen We have until the 14th. Feb 2018. URGENT REQUEST Please consider submitting for the petition on Prescribed Drug Dependence and Withdrawal currently awaiting its third consideration at the Scottish Parliament. You don't even have to be from Scotland. By clicking on the link below you can read some of the previous submissions but be warned many of them are quite harrowing. http://www.parliament.scot/GettingInvolved/Petitions/PE01651 Please tell them about your problems taking and withdrawing from antidepressants and/or benzos. Send by email to petitions@parliament.scot and quote PE01651 in the subject heading. Keep to a maximum of 3 sides of A4 and you can't name for legal reasons any doctor you have consulted. Tell them if you wish to remain anonymous. We need the numbers to help convince the committee members we are not isolated cases. You have until mid February. Thank you Recovering paxil addict None of the published articles shed light on what ssri's ... actually do or what their hazards might be. Healy 2013. This is so true, with anything you get on these drugs, dependance, tapering, withdrawal symptoms, side effects, just silent. And if there is something mentioned then their is a serious disconnect between what is said and reality! "Every time I read of a multi-person shooting, I always presume that person had just started a SSRI or had just stopped." Dr Mosher. Me too! Over two decades later, the number of antidepressant prescriptions a year is slightly more than the number of people in the Western world. Most (nine out of 10) prescriptions are for patients who faced difficulties on stopping, equating to about a tenth of the population. These patients are often advised to continue treatment because their difficulties indicate they need ongoing treatment, just as a person with diabetes needs insulin. Healy 2015 I believe the ssri era will soon stand as one of the most shameful in the history of medicine. Healy 2015 Let people help people ... in a natural, kind, non-addictive (and non-big pharma) way. J Broadley 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
