“The STAR*D Scandal: Fraud in the Largest Antidepressant Trial”
“After Prozac was brought to market in 1988, the APA, together with the makers of antidepressants, informed the public that major depression was a brain disease, and that the drugs fixed a chemical imbalance in the brain. The prescribing of these drugs took off in the 1990s, and has continued to climb ever since, such that today more than one in eight American adults takes an antidepressant every day. The STAR*D results, if they had been accurately reported, would have derailed that societal belief.”
