If mental health research is a joke right now, it's because of the huge shame factor to having a mental disorder. People with mental health problems tend not to band together and lobby Congress and that kind of thing.
I think Prozac was a good thing in that it showed the pharmacuetical companies that there was big money to be made. The lure of profits is the driving force in research right now.
