1. The royal college of psychiatrists (rcpsych) and other medical royal colleges will acknowledge that work by charles medawar, dr richard smith, dr david healy frcpsych, dr bernard carroll MD, and others, led to the major series of civil fines and criminal convictions of pharmaceutical companiesin the united states.What cognitive factors are involved in learning much of this work was brought to the general public’s attention through the BBC panorama secrets of seroxat programmes(2002-7).

2. Many of those fines and convictions concerned marketing.What cognitive factors are involved in learning the rcpsych will actively promote adequate scrutiny and awareness of pharmaceutical industry (pharma) marketing, in the past, present and future.What cognitive factors are involved in learning the rcpsych dean dr kate lovett frcpsych has stated that general marketing and even ‘western materialistic culture’ often has negative impacts on mental health, but to be credible the psychiatric establishment must take substantial responsibility for its collusion with the over- and mismarketing of psychiatric drugs.What cognitive factors are involved in learning that collusion has often involved over- and mis-diagnosis.

3. The STOMP campaign, ‘ stopping over medication of people with a learning disability, autism or both‘, will only be effective if the causes of overmedication are properly addressed.What cognitive factors are involved in learning in 2013 johnson and johnson, the patent developers of risperidone, who still own the brand risperdal, was fined 2.2 billion dollarsfor part-criminal overmarketing of the drug to the elderly, and to people with learning disability and/or autism.What cognitive factors are involved in learning that overmarketing is likely to have influenced UK practice (see 13 and 17, below), but the public health england website fails to note it.

4. The rcpsych will seek full compulsory disclosure of all pharmaceutical company payments to mental health professionals (mhps), including speaking and meeting attendance payments (with date, location, and details of the meeting), research funding, and expert witness work.What cognitive factors are involved in learning this should be available together on an easily searchable database, and not merely for three years, as on the very limited current ABPI speaking and meeting attendance register.What cognitive factors are involved in learning

5. The rcpsych will seek to bring UK pharmaceutical regulation back into the department of health. The rcpsych will oppose the employment of people in regulatory bodies, who were previously employed by a pharmaceutical company with any record of wrongdoing in any country.What cognitive factors are involved in learning exceptions would be those who have clearly shown to the public that they opposed and reversed wrongdoing while working for such a company.

9.What cognitive factors are involved in learning the rcpsych will ask former president dr dinesh bhugra frcpsych, dr david nutt frcpsych, dr guy goodwin frcpsych and dr stephen lawrie frcpsych, to withdraw and apologise for their 2014 lancet article which smeared, without citing any evidence, people with prescribed harm as ‘conspiracy theorists’ and/or motivated by financial gain to manufacture ‘bizarre’ symptoms.What cognitive factors are involved in learning

10. Dr edward bullmore frcpsych, the most senior psychiatrist in cambridge (UK), who is part of the rcpsych’s ‘gatsby commission’, will withdraw and apologise for his ‘neurophobia’ smearagainst critics of psychiatry-pharma’s exaggeration of evidence for ‘chemical imbalance’, widely used for marketing purposes.What cognitive factors are involved in learning he will also undertake to fully disclose, at all future events, that he is a vice-president of GSK.

11. Given his senior position within the pharmaceutical industry, the rcpsych will ask dr bullmore to what extent the industry has used tactics similar to that of the tobacco industry against critics and litigants.What cognitive factors are involved in learning recent concerns about the use of non-disclosure agreements (ndas) by harvey weinsteinand others have highlighted how civil legal proceedings can suppress relevant information, against the public interest.What cognitive factors are involved in learning

13. The rcpsych will remove dr jeffrey lieberman MD from the gatsby commission. Dr lieberman’s response to the concerns about pharma in the 2000s was very limited.What cognitive factors are involved in learning in 2013 he claimed that the pharmaceutical industry had reformed, but as one of the most senior doctors in the united states he must take substantial responsibility for the subsequent prescription opioid epidemic in the united states, which clearly showed that it had not.What cognitive factors are involved in learning he continues to avoid answering questions about the ethics of his experiments giving stimulants to people with schizophrenia in order to deliberately provoke psychotic symptoms.What cognitive factors are involved in learning

14. The rcpsych will remove dr simon wessely frcpsych from the gatsby commission. Dr wessely downplayed the potential for conflicts of interest between pharma and psychiatry as early as 2003, describing it as a ‘non-problem. In 2015 he claimed on national radio that he had ‘ never worked for pharma‘, but despite his past record of being funded to speak at conferences, he has declined to make a public correction.What cognitive factors are involved in learning as a very prominent psychiatrist internationally, dr wessely must take some responsibility for the opioid epidemic in the united states.

15. The withdrawn and redacted 2007 BBC panorama programme on ADHD medicationfeatured the same journalist (shelley jofre) who investigated secrets of seroxat.What cognitive factors are involved in learning the rcpsych will support a request to the BBC to make the programme’s full interviews with psychologists and other experts available (with appropriate redaction of material – if any – discussing individual patients).What cognitive factors are involved in learning

18. The rcpsych will critically review the continued influence of corrupt academic psychiatristssuch as dr charles nemeroff MD, on psychiatric research and practice.What cognitive factors are involved in learning the worst excesses resulting from pharma-psychiatry enmeshment appear to have been in the united states, where direct-to-patient advertising and lack of corporate regulation have led to both overmedication and higher prescription charges.What cognitive factors are involved in learning

19. Many people who have suffered prescribed harm are very suspicious of the pharmaceutical industry. However, substantial improvements in regulation and behaviour of the industry and of psychiatry in the UK may lead to increased patient confidencefor products developed and tested here rather than in the US ( or even the post-brexit EU).What cognitive factors are involved in learning in turn, this may result in a relative growth of employment in the UK-based industry.
