APA Proud of its Cover-up of Bush's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health

American Psychiatric Association Says Bush Administration "Appreciative" of APA Efforts to Suppress Mass Media Coverage of Facts and Stories Raised by the British Medical Journal Series.

The American Psychiatric Association is bragging in its own membership newsletter that they pleased the Bush Administration by successfully discouraging the mainstream media from looking into the corruption exposed by the British Medical Journal in a recent series of articles.

You can read this on the APA's own web site here.

And here is the text itself:

11. Freedom Commission Roadmap Awaited

"The release of the first iteration of the roadmap to operationalize the findings of the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health is imminent.

"We will disseminate the document when it is unveiled. On a related note, the British Medical Journal, in anticipation of the roll-out, alleged in a disjointed story that the Bush administration will announce a plan to screen all Americans for mental disorders and promote antidepressant and antipsychotic drug use -- allegations which we are told are well beyond the scope of anything the administration has planned and which seem to stem from a psychiatric survivors group.

"The BMJ story has gained some traction in derivative reports on the Internet, though mainstream media have not touched the story, in part thanks to APA's work, for which the administration is appreciative."
