New reporting from #RobWipond for #MadInAmerica.

"New national data shows, in 1 year, a stunning 400,000 people got police/EMS visits after calling the "confidential" 988 hotline --a 7.8% intervention rate on callers that's nearly four times higher than #Vibrant and #SAMHSA have ever publicly admitted."

has anyone heard more about #MadInAmerica’s change petition to get the #APA’s American #Journal of #Psychiatry to #retract the STAR*D #fraudulent #misrepresentation of an inflated 67% remission rate, (in fact closer to 35%, and “Only 3% of the 4041 patients who entered the trial had remitted and then stayed well and in the trial to its end.”)?

seems this deserves more visibility in the press. 67% becoming 3% seems like #JohnOliver territory. #prozac #fluoxetine #fraud

BLACK MOVEMENT LEADERS

From Sera Davidow:

My efforts in collaboration with Dana Smith and Chacku Mathai to create a 'Black Movement Leaders' exhibit are now live :)

I wrote about the experience on Mad In America here:

Thanks to my co-workers Natan Cohen and Amy for helping to get the website part of the exhibit in order, to Eb Ex and Mical for preparing to take the next steps forward with the oral history phase, to everyone who helped us identify folks to include, and most of all, to everyone who was willing to be a part of the exhibit and share some of their story with us :) Wali Mutazammil Yvonne Z Smith Daryl Mcgraw Earl Miller Jonathan P.
