Abstract
Trial by media can never take the place of careful scientific evaluation of a psychotropic drug. The two methods are antithetical. Scientific inquiry depends on careful examination of data. The media cannot present information in detail. It titilates, dramatizes and pulls facts out of context. It is unfortunate, but it is so.Keywords
