Its stock price has fallen 40% in the past year, to 12 1/4.

This fall a pair of psychologists at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington began selecting and dispensing medications to a handful of patients in an experiment to see if novice prescribers can do the job safely and effectively. The test marks the first time in the field of mental health that non-M.D.s have been permitted to prescribe medication.
