Some posts ago, someone said i should take a look at what Robert Whitaker has to say about the antipsychotic drug, Zyprexa. Well, i looked and found a couple of articles under:

I'd like to add that Robert Whitaker is a member of Mindfreedom and takes a radical perspective on the mistreatment of patients by pharmaceutical companies. He is a prize-winning journalist (author of "Mad in America"). Personally, I don't have enough evidence or knowledge to believe that drug companies are more likely to mistreat the mentally ill through drugs, than hospitals or physicians or psychiatrists. In all cases, the rule of law is the best watchdog. Somebody said "if they won't do the right thing, make them".
