    Thanks, Lili. After your incisive analysis on Friday of McGorry's early intervention program, this is the punchline!

    Thanks David. I got the idea for this post after reading Martin Whitely's blog. I thought I'd just spell things out in detail. Thank heavens for the British Medical Journal, with it's requirements for authors to disclose all conflicting interests, and its easy accessibilty on the internet.
