Yes indeed. My husband is one of them.
As international superhero Tom Naughton frames it - the information gatekeepers are being swept aside. The anointed are no longer in control. This is why we are seeing the populace waking up, realising they’re being mugged off for profit.
The study abstract says that they were measuring 'Psychiatric hospitalizations and self-harm admissions' rather than missed or rescheduled appointments.From personal experience; I have rescheduled hosp appointments through illness and/or depression and I have rescheduled because I have felt comparatively well. This may sound odd but if 'well' days are far and few between then sometimes one doesn't want to spend a whole morning in a stuffy waiting room having to go through everything all over again only to be told to come back in six months by someone you have never seen before. Counting missed appts seems a weak parameter to me as do hospital admissions in some cases.
The research under discussion was not carried out by, or funded by, the pharmaceutical industry. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2719703Yes I honestly do but not for the reason you state.
Pharma companies are there to make profit. The way they make profit is by selling more product (not products note as there are surprisingly few really new drugs coming onto the market because of the cost of R&D).
They will manipulate any data that shows the slightest of positive effects for any treatment in order to get more people taking their product (the relative risk against absolute risk type of figures we see often applied to statins). They will then spend a small fortune in marketing said product to achieve the highest sales figures possible.
Pharma companies are not in business for the health of the nation they are in business to make money for their shareholders.
The fact that people are becoming more aware of their own health and alternative means of taking charge is a huge threat to profits for them. Expect a whole lot more of this and more and more dubious science and statistics to show miniscule (if any ) benefits to various drugs as well as personal attacks on the advocates of "alternative' non drug medicine.

Correct. It was that information that tells us that this particular research was not funded by the pharmaceutical industry."Conflict of Interest Disclosures: Dr Wong reported receiving research funding from Bristol-Myers Squibb, Pfizer, and Janssen Pharmaceutica outside the submitted work. No other disclosures were reported."
You mean that no-one wrote a cheque for this specific piece of research .. is indeed correct... however that does not mean the the authors are in a financial position to be completely unbiased now does it?Correct. It was that information that tells us that this particular research was not funded by the pharmaceutical industry.
Do you honestly think they would give statins and metformin to people with mental illness regardless if they help them or not just because a small percentage of diabetics are not taking them now
It is not just those with Diabetes who are refusing statin treatment.
