Success in academic psychiatry is not measured in the improvement of patients' mental health, but rather in quantifiable commercial tender.
How many grants one brings to the university, how many publications one churns out each year, and how many corporate and professional advisory boards one serves on–and how much money one makes.  The integrity of the scientific literature has suffered irrevocably—as it can no longer be relied upon as a building block for future research. We can no longer we trust the integrity of those who conduct research nor the journals in which they report their findings—they conceal the research data, preventing independent validation. While psychiatry has produced no demonstrable improvement in the treatment, recovery rate of patients, or developed an empirically objective diagnostic method, psychiatry’s therapeutic industry is thriving. 

Psychiatrist Charles Nemeroff, Chairman of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science,  Emory University, School of Medicine, has been described as the “Boss of Bosses”—“the  most powerful man in psychiatry… among the most coveted advisers to the pharmaceutical industry…his views are expressed in a forceful manner…he fully expects to lead the corporate strategy of those he advises. Those who do not heed his advice are often recipients of his wrath." [1]

His power, the cover story (in TEN: Trends in Evidence-Based Neuropsychiatry, 2000) notes, is measured by "the sheer enormity of his research grants, awards and scientific board appointments" and his "prolific authorship" (by the year 2000, his name was penned to 600 "scientific reports and reviews").   Since that article was published, Dr. Nemeroff has been at the center of considerable controversy, for repeatedly failing to disclose his extensive commercial ties to companies whose products he reviewed favorably in journal publications.

In 2002, his review of a dozen new treatments in psychiatry (in Nature Neuroscience) set off a firestorm when it was revealed that he failed to disclose his financial ties to the very manufacturers whose products he was ostensibly reviewing. [2]  Two seasoned psychiatrists, Dr. Bernard Carroll, retired chairman of psychiatry at Duke, and Dr. Robert Rubin, professor of neurosciences, Vice-Chair of psychiatry at the University of California wrote a letter to the editor of Nature pointing out Dr. Nemeroff’s failure to disclose that he held a patent on trans-dermal lithium patch–which he praised in his review; he was a member of the scientific advisory board of Corcept Therapeutics which was testing mifeprisone–which he praised; and that he was both director and chairman of the psychopharmacology advisory board of Cypress Bioscience.

The New York Times reported: "Dr. Nemeroff [ ] did not disclose that he was a significant shareholder in Corcept Therapeutics, a company in Menlo Park, Calif., that is trying to develop mifepristone, a drug now approved to induce abortions, into a treatment for psychotic depression. He had written that there had been "impressive studies" with mifepristone, indicating that it "is very effective in the treatment of psychotic depression." [3]  See: https://ahrp.org/infomail/03/08/03.php  Dr. Nemeroff claimed: "If there is a fault here, it is with the journal's policy," which did not explicitly require authors of review articles to disclose their conflicts of interest. The controversy led Nature Neuroscience to adopt an explicit publication disclosure policy in October, 2003. [4]

In July 2006, The Wall Street Journal reported that once again Dr. Nemeroff disregarded international ethics standards of disclosure governing medical journal publications. [5] http://online.wsj.com/article/SB115322997681109756.htm This time, Dr. Nemeroff was even more "brash" by publishing a promotional infomercial with 8 co-authors praising a controversial, scientifically unproven–some say unsound–surgically implanted treatment for depression. [6] The device, vagus nerve stimulator, is manufactured by Cyberonics on whose advisory board Dr. Nemeroff and his co-authors all serve as paid consultants. Indeed, Dr. Nemeroff, “boss of bosses” is chairman of the Cyberonics' Advisory panel.

Except for the Cyberonics' employee, whose ties were duly disclosed in the article, none of the academic authors' financial ties to Cyberonics were disclosed. [7] The journal in which Dr. Nemeroff chose to publish the article, Neuropsychopharmacology, is the official journal of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP). Dr. Nemeroff happened to be the Editor in Chief of the journal.  https://ahrp.org/cms/content/view/295/55/

 The controversy put the spotlight not only on Dr. Nemeroff, but on the journal and its sponsoring association, the ACNP, whose members, though heavily reliant on pharmaceutical support, were outraged. [8] ACNP president, Dr. Kenneth Davis, acknowledged in a letter to the membership: "I cannot recall another time where there has been so much concern among the membership." [9]  https://ahrp.org/cms/content/view/334/55/  The ACNP announced Dr. Nemeroff's resignation from the editorship. [10]. https://ahrp.org/cms/content/view/327/55/

Two letters in The Wall Street Journal (below) raise serious questions—including the propriety of a letter signed by 45 signatories—of who 38 are junior level faculty (Assistant Professors) at Emory where Dr. Nemeroff is “the boss of bosses.”  They wrote: ““Dr. Nemeroff's extremely productive and successful career as a leader in academic psychiatry, we have the utmost respect for his science and ethics.”
If 38 of Emory’s faculty have “utmost respect for his science and ethics”—which have earned him considerable criticism, one must wonder about the scientific and ethical culture at Emory!  Additionally, questions surely arise about how easy it might be for subordinates to refuse to show solidarity with “the boss of bosses.”

The other seven signatories hold positions of authority and have almost as much of a financial stake in the business of psychiatry as does Dr. Nemeroff. The list is posted at:

LETTERS

An Insufferable Smear Of Our Staff Officers
The Sept. 19 Letter to the Editor defending an academic physician who failed to disclose his financial ties ("Needless Furor Harms Outstanding Psychiatrist") is naïve and misguided. Particularly offensive is the allegation that staff members of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology were responsible for the nondisclosure "due to a regrettable oversight at the level of administrative publication." To the contrary, the ACNP policy on disclosure explicitly requires that information on financial conflict of interest be included in the acknowledgements section of the manuscript at the time of submission. As lead author, Dr. Charles Nemeroff was required to conform to that policy. As editor in chief of the journal, he can't claim ignorance of the policy that he was being paid to enforce. To now have his supporters issue such a smear on ACNP's administration of the journal is insufferable. The responsibility was Dr. Nemeroff's and his alone.

Letters to the Editor
Needless Furor Harms Outstanding Psychiatrist
407 words
19 September 2006
A21

 The furor arising from your article about the absence of a potential conflict of information statement in a scientific paper on vagal nerve stimulation therapy for depression ("Medical Journal Editor Nemeroff Steps Down Over Undisclosed Ties," Aug. 28) has potentially harmed the fields of medicine and psychiatry.

Dr. Nemeroff was the lead author of the article in question, and all of the required individual conflicts were submitted to the journal, of which he was the editor, but they weren't included due to a regrettable oversight at the level of administrative publication. Thus, the concern about this is much overdone, as Dr. Nemeroff has reported his collaboration with the maker of vagal nerve stimulators in numerous other publications, as well as public and academic presentations. Dr. Nemeroff's decision not to pursue another appointment as editor of Neuropsychopharmacology is highly unfortunate, as this journal is more focused on the biological mechanisms of psychiatric diseases and their treatments than any other, and Dr. Nemeroff is extremely well-qualified to lead it.

Due to Dr. Nemeroff's extremely productive and successful career as a leader in academic psychiatry, he and others like him are asked to be on the boards of many pharmaceutical firms specializing in central nervous system agents. Through such collaborations, the development and testing of novel treatments are greatly enhanced and the safety of research subjects strengthened. Yes, these companies must make profits, but they also share with researchers a desire to find scientific truth, which usually isn't as clear-cut as many believe. The overwhelming majority of academic researchers are proud of their independence and are dedicated to advancing their fields through quality research. At a time of diminishing funding, does it not make sense for industry-sponsored support to provide a viable alternative, especially if available in a no-strings-attached way with sufficient academic research oversight?

We are academic psychiatrists and researchers who are colleagues of Charles Nemeroff, and we have the utmost respect for his science and ethics. Some of us receive research support from pharmaceutical companies, some from federal agencies, some from both and some from neither. All of us want the best for the fields of science, medicine and psychiatry in their endeavors to better humanity.

Boadie Dunlop, M.D.
Kerry Ressler, M.D., Ph.D.
