- Title
Insel and Obama Want Transparency--Let's Oblige.
- Authors
Carlat, Daniel
- Abstract
The article focuses on the implication of the U.S. Physician Payments Sunshine Act and the reaction of U.S. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) chief Thomas Insel for psychiatry. The act requires that drug and device companies report all payments made to physicians and teaching hospitals be published on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Web site. Insel commented that while collaboration between physicians and pharma is good, he concludes that industry influence has skewed psychiatric practice in favor of the most expensive drugs.
