Dr. Harry Gijbels:

I recall a recent discussion in the our rights and medication group about a new psychiatrist in an area who went through all the medications of the patients and persons, noting a vast array of overprescribing. What sort of control or review is there on individual psychiatrists when they prescribe medication? There is none, by the sounds of it, and I am not quite sure if there is any legislation around it. It is an example of the power of individual psychiatrists and nobody knows what they are prescribing. That was until another psychiatrist came along and asked what was going on. I just wanted to make that point.
