The investigators followed 300 patients who were in
ongoing outpatient treatment for depression over six weeks. The authors compared
what the patient reported on a standardized scale of 31 different side effects
(Toronto Side Effects Scale; TSES) with the information recorded by the treating
psychiatrist on each patient’s chart. The main finding: A stunning disconnect
between psychiatrists and their patients. The average number of side effects
reported by the patients on the TSES was 20 times (!) higher than the number
recorded by the psychiatris. When the investigators concentrated on those side
effects that were most troubling to the patient, patients still reported
2 to 3 times more side effects than were recorded by the treating
psychiatrist.

Two months ago, I wrote a post about a New Yorker article that reported that 67% of the depressed patients in the STAR*D trial “recovered.” As I noted in that post, the 67% figure was a highly exaggerated number. Only 51% of the 3,671 patients who entered the trial ever remitted, even for a short period. Furthermore, only about 20% of the patients remitted and then reported to STAR*D investigators, at some point during a 12-month follow-up period, that they were still doing well.

MARION
After an emotional week in court, the Herrin woman on trial for killing her three-year-old daughter has decided not to testify, according to court documents.
Prosecutors began presenting their case against Karrae Starr, 20, by playing the tape of the 911 call she made in late September 2008.
They wrapped it up Friday morning by showing the jury a recording of her interview with investigators, which was conducted hours later.
In the video Starr wore a t-shirt with blood stains on it. She acknowledged the blood belonged to her daughter, Bianca.

HOUSTON – Roy Moreno is in pain. His 26-year-old son
went to jail Sunday for two traffic warrants, but Nicholas Moreno never walked
out of holding cell D223 in Deer Park.
On Sunday, Moreno was driving home
in Shore Acres. He’d been out with friends.
His father says a block away
from their house he hit this mailbox while trying to avoid neighborhood dogs.
Police were called but left because of shift change.
When the shore acres
officers arrived at Moreno’s house they realized the 26-year-old had traffic
warrants out of Deer Park.
