To tell the truth


 

I loved Dr. Nasrallah’s editorial in the June 2011 issue (“A skeptical view of ‘progress’ in psychiatry,” Current Psychiatry, June 2011, p. 18-19). It’s calling a spade a spade. This should be published as an op-ed piece in the New York Times or another national newspaper so the public can see the reality of the situation.
