FYI
Psychiatrist Joseph Biederman and two of his proteges, Thomas Spencer and Timothy Wilens--who for over a decade aggressively promoted the biopolar diagnosis and use of antipsychotics in children, while receiving millions from the manufacturers of these drugs, were disciplined by Harvard University and its affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital--which is more than the National Institute for Mental Health did.
The three wrote a mea culpa letter stating "we want to offer our sincere apologies..." acknowledging "our mistakes..."
However, no mention about the harm to children...and, strangely, not a murmor from the National Institute for Mental Health, which had awarded these disgraced psychiatrists millions of dollars at taxpayers expense.
National Public Radio reported that NIMH would not indicate whether it even conducted an investigation!
