*         *         *         *         * Bonkers Institute takes on the British National Health Service! 1. We obtained copies of some pathetic NHS "educational" brochures pushing psychiatric drugs on children. 2. We posted the brochures in our Marvelous Mental Medicine Show online gallery. 3. We received a polite letter from the NHS demanding the removal of this literature from our web site.                 See the offending leaflets, the letter from NHS, and our reply here:                 1. Your medicine is called Atomoxetine                 2. Your medicine is called Risperidone                 3. Your medicine is called Olanzapine

*         *         *         *         * Open Letter to Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa     Dear Senator Grassley,     Thank you for investigating NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness).     Please investigate Mental Health America, CHADD, TeenScreen, and National Depression     Screening Day too. They're drug industry front groups just like NAMI.     Sincerely,         The entire staff at the Institute for Nearly Genuine Research

*         *         *         *         * New York Times exposes huge Medicaid scandal The NY Times quotes a mysterious mental health advocate in Michigan named Ben Hansen, who obtained documents proving that drugmaker Eli Lilly has duped states into promoting costly and harmful psychiatric drugs like Zyprexa, Strattera and Cymbalta. Who's Ben Hansen and where's he coming from? Find out here.
