In reply to advertise mental illness, posted by rjlockhart37 on September 7, 2012, at 17:07:04
The advertisements are to increase sales. They have nothing to do with well wishes on anyone's health. They don't care about that. What they do care about is that more potential customers, ill or not, might buy their products. They are not in the business of caring for your welfare or anyone else's. They are in the business of selling and making profits. Nothing wrong with that. We are all supposed to try to provide a service, benefit, or product, and earn our daily bread from it.
I totally do not like drug companies pushing meds, but there is nothing wrong with it. It is up to the customer to make their own best decisions. If they are so gullible as to be sold by a TV commercial, then they are probably in need of help in more ways than one.
