More on the ties with Patient Care Groups

Primhe is the UK primary care professional charity dedicated to mental health and the care of those with mental illness in primary care settings. Their mantra is "bringing 'mental' into the mainstream".

Let's just take a little look at Primhe shall we.

Pharmaceutical Company, Lundbeck Ltd are Primhe's Founding Funders

Of the three antidepressants Lundbeck Ltd produce there have been the following reports:

CIPRALEX
Total reports: 75
Reported deaths: 9
Reported hospitalizations: 30

LEXAPRO
Total reports: 413
Reported deaths: 71
Reported hospitalizations: 136

SEROPLEX
Total reports: 74
Reported deaths: 15
Reported hospitalizations: 39

These drugs are all used to treat depression (Mental Health) so the question I have to ask is... Why are Primhe associated with a company that manufacture drugs that are obviously dangerous to the very same people Primhe are supposed to be looking out for?

Here is the Chief Executive of Primhe, Dr Chris Manning, discussing this very issue.
