Pot kettle black - Dr Steven Balt

Recently, bloggers have started posting some of those documents and commenting on them, including the self-described “mental health watchdog” Citizens Commission on Human Rights. The Commission was founded by the Church of Scientology, known for its anti-psychiatric drug stance. When a document containing lists of the top prescribers of name-brand psychiatric drugs in California from 2009 to 2011 was posted on PsychSearch.net, Balt saw that one of his former colleagues at an Oakland mental health clinic was on the list of top prescribers for 2011. So last week, he sent out a sarcastic tweet.

That turned out to be a pot-kettle-black moment.

Another writer, Stephany at Soulful Sepulcher, sent him a tweet saying, “is page 7 you, or someone else? 2009 1000+ rx of Seroquel?”
