Several complaints, including legal cases, have charged The American Journal of Psychiatry with being complicit in pharmaceutical industry corruption of clinical trial results.[3] In a Department of Justice case against Forest Pharmaceuticals, Forest pleaded guilty to the charges of misbranding the drug Celexa (citalopram).[4] The Complaint in Intervention clearly identifies a 2004 ghostwritten article published in The American Journal of Psychiatry in the names of Wagner et al.[5] as a part of this illegal marketing of Celexa for pediatric depression.[6]
