I have a shrink who bulk bills and makes a point of not accepting anything from the pharmaceutical companies. He mentioned he had wanted to do a double blind study on ECT but the ethics committee knocked him back. Our sessions are filled with scorn at the state of something or everything, but including psychiatry. Of course their stupid pens and woeful conferences in beautiful places with tax write offs to match compromise them. It's just one of the modern world's little rackets...but it's why we get the drugs we do, because it's how the patents work. Enough to make you in favour of the free market.
