Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows

Reporting peaked in 2021 at $38,395 and has fallen 99.4% since, to $229 in 2025. Among psychiatric/mental health clinicians in IL with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
