Quote of the Week

''Even though a drug is identified as a drug for weight control, or smoking cessation, or asthma, these drugs often also get into the brain, so there is always the potential for having psychiatric side effects, but we don't have any unifying hypothesis as to why very different classes of drugs have psychiatric side effects."'

—Dr. Thomas Laughren, head of the FDA's division of psychiatric products, in "Connection Between Prescription Drugs, Suicide Studied," FoxNews, September 2, 2008.
