Corrupt medical school fits right into the New Jersey zeitgeist.

CL Psych explores the science of early-onset bipolar disorder. And questions the fear-mongering charges out there.

Parents using an electric shock device on an autistic son.

Another bipolar, a hockey fan to boot, pines for spring.

Fascinating bit from Pharmalot on pharma's advertising quandaries. Now, where's that "Depression Hurts" doggie?

Liz Spikol on the new anti-depressant study.

Yet another cheerleader pharma rep.

Someone is in Seroquel Hell.

The electric shock device.
1. Does the person have the ability to ask for the treatment, comment on it, and remark on how it makes the person feel, as a result, and obviously during the treatment. To compare this to pain at the dentist is the most ridiculous apples to oranges comparison I have ever heard.
2. Being that I have experience with severe autism; I do know that the head banging, and injury as a result can be quite devastating.

One thing people need to understand though; is that autistic people are brilliant, and though some cannot speak; there are other ways to communicate. I would hope and assume that this man has been given the technology to communicate his [possible pain]thoughts.
I hope I make sense here. He needs to still say what he wants, and is capable of doing so, non-verbal or not.
I also do not envy the shoes the caregivers walk.

Hockey fan: love the site. As a former figure skater, I also am a fan of hockey, as we all shared the same ice.
I have no point here, except that this brought back memories of my teens, when in driver's ed, my group[back in the day driver's ed was free and in school]was a bunch of girls. I was a figure skater, and another girl was a hockey-freak. She lived for hockey, and she landed a position after high school on an all male professional team.
She always told me I should be a mother. She rocked.

UNDMJ (New Brunswick, NJ) has been corrupt since inception.

UNDMJ's full name is UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Robert Wood Johnson, of the Johnson & Johnson medical company (New Brunswick, NJ).

They do a lot of good work at UMDNJ, but the corporate influences are overwhelming.
