Fiddy's lawyer Mark Harvey - founder of the SeroxatUserGroup - advises GSK "don't accept any legal liability"

Harvey is not the sort of hot-headed litigator we may be familiar with from the movies; he does not distrust Big Medicine per se. He acknowledges that a lot of people benefit from Seroxat, and he has a moderate suggestion that falls well short of any grandiose attempt to have the drug withdrawn. 'If [GSK] were sensible, they would sit down and go, "We don't accept any legal liability but we recognise that we could improve the information that we give to the patient and the doctor."'

People become aware of Harvey's involvement principally through the Internet, which has recently developed into a vast arena of anti-SSRI campaigning and sad stories from depressives. Websites cater for all types of anxiety and melancholy, and they provide a self-help community for those troubled by their treatments.
