Quote:With new names and prices and despite their unknown methods of action, Pharma marketers have devised ways to market drugs like Abilify to the whole population, not just people with severe mental illness. Only one percent of the population, after all, has schizophrenia and only 2.5 percent has bipolar disorder. Thanks to these marketing ploys, Risperdal was the seventh best-selling drug in the world until it went off patent and Abilify currently rules.

mental health drugs should not be pedaled on television like every other drug is today. Abilify claims it helps out antidepressants. Most people dont need MORE meds, they need LESS and more ways to manage their life in a healthy manor. The drugs we have today (off patent) work well, they all have side effects, but please read the effects of the new ones, they are far worse with little no more benefit. Psychiatrists have a hard enough time diagnosing and prescribing meds, they dont need us hearing about a new drug and asking for it.

No pharmaceuticals should be peddled on TV.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

Nor should they be allowed to bribe doctors to push their particular poison.
