PSYCHO-PHARMA FRONT GROUPS: TeenScreen National Center for Mental Health Checkups.
(Formerly known as the Columbia University TeenScreen Program). Every member of the faculty of Columbia University’s Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry has financial ties to drug companies as a consultant, receiving honoraria, or research funds .
Pharma-funded front groups masquerading as “patient advocates”.
These groups are not what they appear to be. Yet their influence over legislation, lobbying, drug regulation (or lack thereof), and public relations campaigns is substantial and can seriously impact society.
These are groups operating under the guise of advocates for the “mentally ill,” which in reality are heavily funded psychiatric-pharmaceutical front groups—lobbying and working on state and federal laws which effect the entire nation—from our elderly in nursing homes to our military, pregnant women, nursing mothers and schoolchildren.
Presenting themselves as patient advocacy groups is highly disingenuous, not only to their membership, many of which may have a sincere desire to help a loved one or a family member with mental problems, but also to legislators, the press and the American public—for they have consistently lobbied for legislation that benefits the psychiatric and pharmaceutical drug industries which fund them, and not the patients they claim to represent.
Columbia University is known for its collaboration with pharmaceutical companies. Its medical center has collaborated with AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, Janssen, Pharmaceutica, Merck, Novartis, and Pfizer. https://www.cchrint.org/issues/psycho-pharmaceutical-front-groups/teenscreen/
