Antidepressant PR Gone Wild

As noted at Furious Seasons, a recent broadcast of "The Infinite Mind" went absolutely wild with its reaching to cover up risks associated with SSRIs. Oy. It was almost as if a PR consultant for the drug industry was involved with the show... Oh, wait, a PR consultant for the drug industry was involved -- Peter Pitts from Drug Wonks appeared on the program. You may recall that Pitts works at a PR firm (Selvage, Manning, and Lee) that does much business with the drug industry.

More coming later on the Canadian Psychiatric Association's unscientific dismissal of evidence linking antidepressants to poor efficacy.
