Dr Steven Sharfstein – President,
American Psychiatric Association (2005)
If we are seen as mere pill pushers and employees of the
pharmaceutical industry, our credibility as a profession is
compromised.
As we address these Big Pharma issues, we must examine the fact
that as a profession, we have allowed the bio-psycho-social model to become the bio-bio-bio model.”

Professor Mike Shooter, President of the Royal College of
Psychiatrists (2005):
“I cannot be the only person to be sickened by the sight of parties of psychiatrists standing at the airport desk with so many perks about them that they might as well have the name of the company tattooed across their foreheads. It simply will not do.”

Similarities found in brains of severely abused children and adult ‘schizophrenics’:
• Overactivity of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis
• Abnormalities in neurotransmitter systems (especially dopamine)
• Hippocampal damage
• Cerebral atrophy
• Reversed Cerebral Asymmetry
Read et al (2001)

Brain differences between two groups do NOT prove the ‘brain
disease’ hypothesis. The brain is designed to respond to
the environment
