New name, same conflicted scientific advisory council: C.A.B.F. changes to The Balanced Mind Foundation

Don't let the name change fool you... C.A.B.F.Child Adolescent Bipolar Foundation is now The Balanced Mind Foundation. Same players, new name. Senate investigated and Harvard sanctioned Joseph Biederman, Lilly paid Melissa DelBello, and the of the CABF-Balanced Mind Foundation advisory council are all still there, advising with backgrounds such as paid pharma speakers, ex-Paxil 329 author Karen Dineen Wagner, Seroquel trial on 4 year olds Janet Wozniak...

The name change according to Executive Director Susan Resko will allow ALL kids to feel equal with terms, labels and dx's, not just bipolar anymore...now the Balanced Mind Foundation will encompass the entire DSM 5 new and improved multitude of dx's for kids. Isn't that great?

"CABF’s board of directors voted to expand our mission from a single condition to include all mood disorders: bipolar disorder, depression and a proposed new DSM-V diagnosis for children which will attempt to capture children who are currently diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but do not meet full criteria."--writes Resko

Interesting use of the word capture.

I'm positive there are meds for that.

Note:

"Does the Balanced Mind Foundation think we’ve forgotten Rebecca Riley?"....
