Re: Medicalising unhappiness: new classification of depression risks more patients being put on drug treatment from which they will not benefit
Thank you, Ms Jane Wilson. The BMA has an ethics committee, the BMJ has an ethicist on its Board. Several UK universities have ethicists on their teaching staff. All silent. In the journal web discussion on Health a few months ago and on Unhappiness now, all these people have stayed silent. In this discussion, your Monash expert remains silent. Why, I wonder.
