The DSM is possibly the most facist book published in the world today. It's purpose is to help psychiatrists disect and box human emotions and feelings, categorise quirks and neuroses and of course to prescribe meds for the pharmas. It has as much genuine medical and scientific value as toilet paper. And as a matter of fact, that could be a much better use for it, if you ask me... Psychiatry is an outdated and ultimately failed belief system which has become nothing but a profitable pimp and whore for the pharmaceutical industry, it must be abolished... One day It will be , I am sure of that.. Ahh, The DSM…

Psychiatry is a rather soft science, comparatively speaking. Neurology, however, is a different matter.

First, the limit has now been noted in an update. Second, the names of the nominees were announced in July 2007, as the APA press release indicates, although these were the people who made the final cut. The actual nominations may have occurred in 2006, so the reach back to 2003 data would then be relevant. We'll ask the APA for clarification. Regards, ed at Pharmalot Hi Atlex,

First, all participants agreed to limit industry-related fees to $10K for the length of this commitment. Second, based on the Dilip Jeste example, it is disengenuous to suggest that participants are hiding their arrangements. The participants were asked to provide a listing of their industry relationships over the past 3 years. Since the document was released in July 2007, I assume that Dr. Jeste's 2003 arrangements have no bearing. Thus, there is not a relevant example of inaccurate disclosures.
