Fred Goodwin is one of the leading psychopharmacologists of this century. He is also a practicing psychiatrist. That is reason alone for those bent on driving down the use of medications for mental illness to target Goodwin for being paid to advise pharmaceutical companies who develop products for the treatment of such conditions. Goodwin -- who is my friend and a CMPI board member -- is a pioneer in the successful treatment of schizophrenia and manic depression. His radio show, "The Infinite Mind" covered a wide variety of subjects ranging from dreams, to aging, to depression over the 15 years he was the host.
He is being slimed by the same small-minded group that wants to savage science and replace it with a contorted combination of anger, unmedicated anecdotes and trial lawyer inspired opportunism.
Goodwin will continue to publish, lecture and research, adding value and knowledge to patients lives.
Here's the difference between Goodwin and his attackers:
Fred has helped reduced the number of suicides among the mentally ill. They have helped increase them.
They have to live with their legacy. I am sure Fred will be content with his.
