Professor Carmine Pariante contributed to a recent Radio 4 consideration on antidepressants.
Today I have sent this communication to Professor Pariante:
Sent: 9 March 2019 Subject: "Explaining the position of the Royal College of Psychiatrists" - Radio 4, 6th March 2019 Dear Professor Pariante, In this broadcast you assured the public that antidepressants are “life saving” and that only “a small minority” experience side effects. I would be grateful if you could share the evidence that supports these statements. Kind wishes, Dr Peter J Gordon Bridge of Allan GMC 3468861
Pariante indicates that the RCPsych are now listening to the loud patient voice. He could demonstrate this by quickly replying to your letter with the evidence that you’ve asked for, (if you haven’t yet heard from him).
