Conspiracy by the drug companies? Not a conspiracy, in the usual sense. But, if you're aware that the current form of "capitalism" is a huge, dominant conspiratorial force, well.......
Individuals can be caring and altruistic; corporations cannot. And Wall Street doesn't give a rat's ass HOW the profits are gained, only that they are.
Marketing is the religion of capitalism, and it doesn't matter what the product is. It only matters whether it'll sell and and reap profits. To marketers, Prozac is no different from an iPhone. If there's already a market for something, their goal is to exploit it to its fullest. And if there's no market, create one, then exploit it.
