Unpublished data reverses risk-benefit of drugs

Unpublished studies on the effects of anti-depressant drugs on children suggest some are both ineffective and potentially harmful, according to a new review of research. The unpublished data contradict published results, fuelling the debate on how pharmaceutical companies reveal trial data.

The new study was conducted by Tim Kendall, deputy director of the Royal College of Psychiatrists' Research Unit in London, UK, and colleagues. One of Kendall's roles is to help analyse medical research to draw up the clinical guidelines on which the UK government bases its drug regulations.

After recent revelations that drug companies have suppressed unfavourable data on their drugs, Kendall and his colleagues contacted pharmaceutical companies requesting unpublished studies that might bear on the guidelines. None of the companies complied, so Kendall contacted a government agency which provided six unpublished studies on three anti-depressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

Kendall and his team added those results to a review of five published studies on the effects of various SSRIs on children.

"When we got the unpublished data and put it in with the published data, something happened. Instead of being safe and effective, the risk-benefit reversed," Kendall told New Scientist.


There is a highly effective treatment alternative to drugs.

For over 35 years I have worked with ADHD children and their families. Having been an  ADHD child myself, I have a personal interest in this area.

Current explanations of the disorder never fit my experience or the children I saw. It always seemed contradictory that children who could not attend to school work could play computer games for hours, though both activities use the same areas of the brain. This stimulated years of  research and rethinking  of ADHD theory and treatment.  From this I developed my new (patented) and highly effective, drug free, Computer Aided Emotional Restructuring (CAER) treatment  and wrote my book, ADHD: A Path to Success to explain it. Learn how ADHD is not a defect, deficit or a disorder, but a highly skilled short-term defense mechanism that backfires in the long-run. Read more than 40 Amazon.com “customer reviews” of my book and treatment.   The most typical response when people read the book is “That makes so much more sense than anything else I have read”, “You describe my child exactly”.

It will empower you  an optimistic lens that will forever change how you see your child and his problems.
