Clinton Rolls Out Plan to Improve Mental Health Care. "The proposal calls for expanding early intervention in mental illness; a national initiative to prevent suicide, which kills more than 40,000 Americans a year; increasing training for police who are called to the scene of a mental health crisis; providing mental health care for non-violent offenders to help them avoid going to jail for minor offenses; & investing in brain and behavioral research to develop better treatments." USA Today, August 30
Overselling ADHD: A New Book Exposes Big Pharma’s Role A review of Alan Schwartz’s book, ADHD Nation: Children, Doctors, Big Pharma, and the Making of an American Epidemic, claims it “should be required reading for those who seek to understand how a field that once aimed to ameliorate the behavioral problems of children in a broad therapeutic context abdicated its mission to the stockholders of corporations like Shire and Lilly. Schwarz is sounding an alarm for a fire that looks nowhere near abating.” The New York Times, August 22, 2016
