I'm pretty sure that the 'living with psychiatric medication' group in leicester would also be interested in supporting/contributing to this. I was really pleased this morning that this research got front page and top of the news coverage given the power of the pharmaceutical companies. It's been really interesting to listen to the language used in the reporting and interviews and to track how this 'story' is developing.

There were good efforts to get a statement out to the media on CBT recently. Perhaps something similar here would be good. Additionally, perhaps those more involved/aware (than myself) in the SUG might wish to get a statement going from there? I am willing to assist in the process. What do you think?
