Unethical and investigated scientific advisory board members DelBello & Biederman
THE SCANDAL BEHIND THE ADVISORY BOARDS AT CABF (CHILD ADOLESCENT BIPOLAR FOUNDATION)
Scientific Advisory Council:
Clinical Psychology & Psychiatry blog:
"Recently, the watchful eyes of Charles Grassley have been peering into the bank accounts of big name psychiatrists. Melissa DelBello and Joe Biederman (1, 2) from the Wonderful World of Child Bipolar were first, and now Alan Schatzberg has been hit. Schatzberg is the Chair of Psychiatry at Stanford University. He is also the President of the American Psychiatric Association."
AND
"It appears that Joe Biederman, King of Child Bipolar, has been caught with his hands in the cookie jar. More specifically, the New York Times and Bloomberg have noted that Biederman has received a great deal of pharma cash (like at least $1.6 million dollars from 2000-2007) and has not been very forthcoming about such funds. How was such undercover money revealed? Courtesy of Charles Grassley, the Iowa Republican Senator whose prior investigation unearthed a similar situation impacting another Bipolar Child Key Opinion Leader, Melissa DelBello from the University of Cincinnati."

FDA panel approved antipsychotics in kids age 10 and up -- Summer 2009
Conflicts of Interest!
CABF board member Dr. David Fassler represented the APA as well as CABF and Barbara Geller was a voting member of the FDA advisory panel. The drugs, Geodon, Seroquel and Zyprexa were approved for use in kids 10 and older.

There is an enormous conflict of interest (COI) when a non-profit organization that boasts helping kids and parents with bipolar and depression and more in children has people voting for drugs to use on FDA advisory panels for the use in children.
Until the members and volunteers, parents of CABF stop to think about WHO gives the advice to the members, the board the people and children of CABF -bpkids they will continue to search and seek help for their children. The drugs recommended are those created by pharma companies with agendas and investigated and fined by the DOJ (Dept of Justice) such as:
AstraZeneca
Eli Lilly
Forest
for illegal promotion and sales targeting kids for Seroquel, Zyprexa and Lexapro for examples.
The children have been pharmaceutical marketing targets for over a decade and the children are products of this and continue to be.
Not one parent at CABF can say there child is well. The parents will continue to listen to the spew I did a decade ago by their so-called experts: "cure in a decade" "blood test to determine if bipolar in a decade" "just have to find the right cocktail of meds" "not all meds work for one person" "complex" "famous people had bipolar you too can live with it"....
