Psychiatric drug advertising is the greatest successful false advertising campaign of all time. Millions have been killed and millions more will be killed and millions of others will have addiction and life-ruining conditions.
But also notice in those commercials that there is a dog, usually a golden retriever or similar breed. And there is music over the voice of the commentator which I think is criminal deception.
This is how psychiatrists are allowed to thrive. The people see the commercials and they say to ask your doctor. So they head for the dance to the psychiatrist, get the script, another victim for life. And if the drug doesn't work, the psychiatrist could say that the drug was not for them but there is another drug for them. Then the cycle resumes to the pharmacy, and you see the people here that are on the train to death that can't get off. Oh, the horrors of psychiatry. They got their ticket on the TV
