i think you are right.
people don't hear because they've heard all the hype.
and the drug companies get richer and we love them because they give us the message 'it is not your fault' in a way that is easy for us to understand.
of course it isn't your fault.
if it was sociological it wouldn't be societies fault.
if if was psychological it wouldn't be your fault.
but belief in god and libertarian free will and those kinds of myths require us to go down this path... and the drug companies get richer and we don't bemoan them that because they give us the message 'it is not your fault' in a simple way we can understand.
and it isn't your fault.
it is not.
but that has nothing to do with the biopsychosocial model.
it is jus tthat it explains consumer resistence to it.
