Abstract
Abstract As is the case for other medical specialties, many ethical issues in psychiatry are generic problems for medicine. Issues such as research on human subjects, consent to treatment, and the basis of professional obligations are generally relevant to medicine and are discussed under other headings ( see Bioethics; Consent; Research Ethics). However, there are some other ethical issues that, although common to other areas in medicine, are particularly relevant to psychiatry. The creation of new diseases in order to create a market for pharmaceuticals is a key challenge to psychiatry, but one that is also discussed under other headings ( see Disease Mongering; Psychopharmacology).
