I found this blog by a psychiatrist who is furious about the article.

"A doctor with intensive training can have trouble with these meds...and these patients are going to do better on their own?"
Sometimes.
"They are as careful with themselves, they say, as any doctor would be with a patient. No doubt, that's true...if their doctor is an incompetent criminal."
Doesn't have to be a criminal...sometimes incompetent, usually just indifferent and rushed during a 15 minute (every two or three months) appointment. Or influenced by the Florida golfing vacation (um, I mean "conference") put on by the drug company.
It's also interesting to read the responses, mostly from other psychiatrists.
