CAMH Clinical Trial on Aripiprazole 

Aripiprazole, a new antipsychotic drug made by Bristol-Meyers Squibb, is now being tested in Toronto's notorious Centre for Addiction & Mental Health (CAMH) to see if it's more effective then Perphanazine. The study is being conducted by Dr Roy McCurley and co-investigator Dr. Pablo Diaz.  The 'study coordinator' is Hesther Tims. The CAMH tel# 416-535-8501 - McCurley's ext. 2121, Diaz's ext. 2743, Tims' ext. 2062. 

Here's the opening statement on the PR News release: 

"Aripiprazole is a new antipsychotic medication developed by Bristol-Meyers Squibb for the treatment of people with schizophrenia. In this research study the safety and effectiveness of Aripiprazole will be compared to another anti-psychotic medication (Perphenazine)." this study has two 6-week phases."

CAMH has been accused by the antipsychiatry movement of incompetent and biased research heavily funded by drug companies.   A few months ago, the University of Toronto and CAMH refused to hire biopsychiatrist-researcher David Healy who committed the crime of simply stating in a public lecture last winter that Prozac can make people more depressed or suicidal - a well-documented, widely-known fact during the last 10 years!
