Does Market Play with Science

Consider the problem of someone (me, you, another, the hospitalized) who experiences "depression".
And also consider the $ 20,000,000,000.00 (est) annual! anti-depressant medication industry.
(they don't call it BIG Pharma for nothin'.)
And consider the recently described illness with the handle "drug induced tardidysphorium".

This last phrase means: late onset (tardi) unhappiness (dysphorium) brought about by injesting medications - ironically those meds being initially recommended to cure depression in the first place, and which now, after a time, have made it worse.


And this from one of my favourite poets, Dane Piet Hein.

REMEDIES' REMEDIES

Pills are useful
against ills
and against
too many pills.
