Put me in the pro-Gøtzsche camp: Our relationship to prescription meds have become a silent epidemic. Psychotropic and mental health meds being the least reliable, short term and long term. Meds are consumed by individuals easier and with less thought than drinking tap water. Why? Because it is doc prescribed? The system has been corrupted on so many levels that, here included, so many have something to gain with the proliferation of the industry. Putting seniors with compromised cognitive abilities on psyche meds or the crappy alz meds we have is futile. Exercise and diet should come first. But very few will gain financially or feel they have time, thus prescriptions become the easy way out...the status quo if you will. Same with MOST ADHD meds. Shame on docs, parents (or adult children), and investors. Kudos Prof. Gøtzsche, that takes cojones!
