Mortimer Sackler Career

During the Korean War, he was an army psychiatrist in Denver, Colorado, before joining his brothers, Arthur and Raymond, both newly graduated medical doctors, at the Creedmoor Psychiatric Hospital in New York City. The three "became a moving force in the research and clinical outpatient department at Creedmore, which would become the Creedmore Institute for Psychobiologic Studies". According to The Independent, during the 1950s the brothers "undertook pioneering research into how alterations in bodily function can affect mental illness. This work contributed to a move away from treatments such as electroshock therapy and lobotomy towards pharmaceutical treatment."

The legacy of the Sackler family is tragic: Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and millions are addicted to opioids

The Sackler family name is now inextricably linked to the heroin epidemic that has brought the US into a stalemate. The family [shown left] joined Purdue Pharma, a painkiller that is highly addictive. OxyContin is a prescription drug that can be used in many countries. The introduction of prescription painkillers [shown bottom right] caused an overdose crisis that has killed more than 650,000 people since 1999. The crisis is now largely due to sinister fentanyl [shown in map]. Just a few grains of the drug can kill a veteran drug user, and it is becoming more popular in the illicit drug market, with many people using the drug without even knowing.
