Have you ever noticed how Big Pharma in the United States has things exactly backward? Instead of developing new pills that people need like non-addictive painkillers and antibiotics for resistant infections, it develops new diseases.

You know those ads that try to scare you into thinking you have restless leg syndrome, non-24-hour sleep/wake disorder or exocrine pancreatic insufficiency— the poop disease? They’re not from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or a government public health agency. They’re from Big Pharma trying to churn “demand” for a drug and disease you’ve never heard of.

non-24-hour sleep/wake disorder

Or the non-clinical term for it, "feeling a bit tired."

Puts me in mind of an episode of The Big Bang Theory when Bernadette says, 'Last month, my company both invented and cured Restless Eye Syndrome. Ka-ching, you blinky chumps!!'
