Moreover, unless someone with authority over the purse strings comes to their senses, this NIMH-funded waste will continue for nearly two more years covering ground that previous studies have trod many times before. The cost of this study in 1995 was $627,410. Judging from the steady increase of funds to the project since 1993, the last two years of the grant will easily consume another $1.3 million or more.
This is not a study of depression among youth it is a five-star meal ticket for people in the psychiatric industry.
A search of NIMH data bases under the term “depression studies” turned up thousands of individual grants, funded for up to eight years. The average amount per year per grant in one data base containing 729 individual grants was roughly $150,000. Billions of dollars in research grants certainly have not impacted upon the staggering depression figures the psychiatric industry announces through the media.
One grant to study depression has been running for 20 years. Over the past six years alone, this grant has been worth $801,435 to the researchers.
Another grant to study depression has run 10 years, with two more years to go. The expense to the taxpayer for the four years of this study, from 1992 to 1995, is $1,999,281. (For descriptions of the contents of such studies, see “Psychiatry’s $40,000,000,000 Fraud”).
