CCHR Calls for Investigation Into Mental Health
Research on Animal Studies
CCHR urges accountability for the $40 billion in funds
allocated to animal studies by federal mental health
research agencies
Specific spending includes $2.14
million on fruit flies' brains,
$457,500 on zebrafish trauma
effects, and $1,334,079 on mouse
brain structure
Dr. Roger McFillin says the U.S. spent $40B since 2000 on NIMH’s failed quest to blame genes
and brain circuits, as youth mental health worsened and suicide rates soared
Senator Rand Paul has long criticized research
waste, highlighting $1.6M spent on studies like
"Lizards on a Treadmill" and Russian cats walking on
treadmills in a 2021 speech.
Former NIMH director Thomas Insel admitted in 2017
that $20B spent on neuroscience and genetics research
failed to reduce suicide, hospitalizations, or improve
mental illness
Billions wasted on ineffective mental health research highlight the urgent need for accountability. CCHR
is committed to exposing this misuse and advocating for change.
