Our letter in The Times and The Sunday Times today. Entirely wrong to say there is no science behind psychiatry. And mentally ill people do not “choose not to work”, that is a disgusting thing to say.

Bravo to colleagues for writing in The The Times and The Sunday Times today . Some correction of the gross misrepresentation of mental illness, following the dreadful article they published earlier this week. Not dreadful because I disagreed with it but dreadful because it was plain misleading.
