It was a long, hectic bike ride to McDonald's for lunch.  The traffic was busy on highway 29 with cars honking and swerving to avoid me.   It all felt rather frantic.  I arrived at McDonald's and got two delicious Big Macs and a large fries.  The next hour was spent people watching.  I watched as a beast of a mother berated her two young sons for eating too much and fighting over the rest of their french fries.   They were two rotund little children.  The mother I might say didn't have too much room to talk.  She was rotund as well.  I was soon growing worried about st...

Increasingly popular skid row discuss this article
Employees of an Orange County hospital are accused of driving a psychiatric patient 42 miles, past multiple homeless facilities, in order to dump the man in L.A.’s Skid Row. If the allegation is correct, it would not be the first such reprehensible shirking of responsibility by a hospital.A chief reason to not just dump a patient but to do so far away is to ensure that, when the almost inevitable next crisis occurs, the inadequately treated and discharged patients end up at someone else’s door, i.e., another hospital or a jail. Skid Row dumping in L.A. is emblematic of our mental health system’s failure, sometimes ev...

Antipsychotic set for approval for depression, anxiety has big problems discuss this article
Most of you are well aware that AstraZeneca has been trotting out data--not especially impressive data BTW--touting its antipsychotic Seroquel as a treatment for depression and generalized anxiety disorder. The drug is already approved for treating schizophrenia, mania in bipolar disorder and bipolar depression. It is widely used off label for treating sleep problems, agitation, anxiety, depression, public speaking anxiety (bring back Toastmasters!), ADHD and so on. It rings up about $4 billion a year in sales and AZ is determined to wring every nickel possible out of this molecule, especially since it's not a particularly...

New abbott adhd drug is "drug dealing," plus adderall snorting explained discuss this article
Yesterday, my good friends at Abbott Labs rolled out phase II data on its experimental adult ADHD drug known as ABT-089. One assumes that the phase III trials are well underway and that the drug will have a much sexier name if it ever heads to the FDA for approval. I'm betting that it will because Abbott is clearly aiming this drug at the adult ADHD market and in its press release the company talks about it as a lifestyle drug: "Phase II study results show that ABT-089 appears to significantly improve the core symptoms of ADHD, improve quality-of-life and work effectiveness, and reduce overall work impairment in adults wi...

Another enjoyable morning was spent down at the railyard.  I walked far down the tracks to the bridge spanning the Chattahoochee river.  The smell of the river water was acrid as they were generating electricity up at the dam.  This bridge was built in the 1920s and it's starting to look decrepit.  I tried to imagine all the countless tons of train that have gone before me over this bridge. I left the tracks and walked over to Rodger's Barbeque.  Some of you may remember I used to have a tab at this restaurant.  I still had $14 dollars left on my tab.  I got a pound of barbeque and a pint...

At the recent meeting of the American Psychiatric Association, there was a presentation of results of "clinical studies" of Seroquel XR revealing that it's better than placebo for major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Guess who gave the presentation? AstraZeneca, of course. From Andrew Eder's article on DelawareOnline.com: Opening Seroquel XR for treatment of major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder would greatly expand the market for the drug. About 15 million American adults suffer from major depressive disorder, and about 6.8 million suffer from generalized anxiety disorder. I...

Another satisfied seroquel user discuss this article
A reader commented yesterday: "I took 200 mgs. of Seroquel daily for two years after a questionable diagnosis for Bipolar II (manic symptoms appeared only after treatment with antidepressants or with high doses of IV steroids). Now, a year after withdrawing from Seroquel, I still wake up every two hours, and I still have episodes of akithisia. I believe this drug has permanently damaged my nervous system. I struggled with deep depression the entire time I was taking Seroquel; since withdrawing (a painful process) my mood has improved."

Bipolar disorder overdiagnosis seen in private practice discuss this article
In response to yesterday's news that bipolar disorder may be overdiagnosed by 50 percent, a psychologist in private practice left a comment here that I wanted to pass along: "In my private practice as a psychologist, I frequently find people misdiagnosed with Bipolar disorder. If someone has an anger problem, they often end up diagnosed as Bipolar. This happens frequently by family doctors and also psychiatrists. In my opinion, it's really often a matter of justifying the meds they want to prescribe (most often an antipsychotic). I'd say, anecdotally, that the level of overdiagnosis I see is pretty consistent with the stu...

New sleeping pills as bad as old ones discuss this article
Now that we've been getting flooded for a few years with ads for Ambien, Rozerem and Lunesta--the new age, totally safe sleeping pills!--it's becoming clear that these drugs create as many problems as the old prescription sleeping pills which were addiction-producing benzos such as Halcion (which was so bad it was pulled from the market). That's what popped up in a recent Wall Street Journal piece (sadly, behind the subscription firewall).

Thanks to a reader for passing along this account of reports indicating that 70 employees of Texas's state hospitals have been fired in recent years for openly beating patients. It's a complete outrage that such events were allowed to take place. While I know that state hospitals are very difficult places for employees to work (akin to prisons), there is little justification for such widespread abuse, especially considering that the patients are not dangerous criminals. What's astonishing is that state employees were using chokeholds on patients. Almost every police department in the US banned the use of chokeholds in the...
