YES!! This is my question exactly! Also: How come when even the government/regulators are saying these companies are lying and misrepresenting, that questioning the efficacy of the drugs is still seen as "discriminating" against people with "mental illness"??

That is an interesting question. I wonder if they are getting funding from the drugs companies too. One would hope that if a journal thought an article was misrepresenting, they would just refuse to publish it.
