Mental Health Blogs

Yes, it’s happened yet again, as the Wall Street Journal‘s Health blog reported yesterday, Sen. Charles Grassley has uncovered yet another psych researcher who was getting oodles of money from pharma companies while also doing federally-funded research, this time on the use of anti-depressants in pregnant women. Emory University psychiatrist Zachary Stowe allegedly got $154,400 from GlaxoSmithKline in 2007 and $99,300 during the first 10 months of 2008. Apparently, there is no bottom to this sort of mad love between pharma companies and academic researchers.

Stowe is of course the second Emory psych researcher to come under Grassley’s glare. Charles Nemeroff is the other and last year he stepped down as chair of the university psychiatry department.
