DSM-Bible of Fake Illnesses

[From article]
"As the DSM-5 task force began its work, [Robert] Spitzer was “dumbfounded” when Darrel Regier, the APA’s director of research and vice chair of the task force, refused his request to see the minutes of its meetings. Soon thereafter, he was appalled, he says, to discover that the APA had required psychiatrists involved with the revision to sign a paper promising they would never talk about what they were doing, except when necessary for their jobs. “The intent seemed to be not to let anyone know what the hell was going on,” Spitzer says.
Sunshine the best disinfectant is not allowed to expose the greed, fake illnesses and chicanery of psychiatry.

Many of these kids were put on antipsychotic drugs, whose effects on the developing brain are poorly understood but which are known to cause obesity and diabetes.
So much for Obama nation's nanny state government controlled categories of food. Is Michelle Obama as clueless about nutrition and drugs as her husband is about computers, national security, economics and the Constitution?
[. . .]
But the idea of more “kids getting unneeded antipsychotics that would make them gain 12 pounds in 12 weeks hit me in the gut. It was uniquely my job and my duty to protect them.
Why no scrutiny of the psychiatric drug industry as a cause of childhood obesity?
