And while we're on the subject of spinning data

Just a few of many tales of data suppression and/or spinning in depression studies can be found below:

Data reported on only 1 of 15 participants in an Abilify study

Data hidden for about 10 years on a negative Zoloft for PTSD study

Suicide attempts vanishing from a Prozac study

Long delay in reporting negative results from an Effexor for youth depression study

Data from Abilify study spun in dizzying fashion. Proverbial lipstick on a pig.

A trove of questionable practices involving a key opinion leader

Corcept heavily spins its negative antidepressant trial results

Much more at ClinPsych
