Many
Authors Of Mental Health Diagnosis
Guidelines Have Financial Ties To Drug
Makers, Study Says
The majority of psychiatrists who
worked on the most recent edition of
the American
Psychiatric Association's widely
influential diagnostic manual had financial
ties to the pharmaceutical industry
before, during or after the manual
was published, according to a study
published Thursday in Psychotherapy
and Psychosomatics, the New
York Times reports.
About
one in five heart attack patients report
having financial barriers to health
care services, and these patients are
more likely to have a lower quality
of life and increased rate of rehospitalization,
according to a study in the March 14
issue of JAMA, a theme issue on access
to care.
