And I am SO SICK of those damned prescription drug ads! And it was music to my ears when John Edwards said the same thing, during the presidential campaign.

It sends all the wrong messages: take a pill and every little tiny annoyance will go away. It's absolutely obscene.

Yes, people need medicine sometimes. But I thought that's what doctors were for--to determine if a person needs medicine. WE, the consumers (who have no medical education) do NOT need to see those ads!

Just look above on the thread... a poster said they complained to their doctor that they had trouble concentrating on homework, and the doctor prescribed a pill! What a crock of shit. Sure, there are some people who really do have a mental problem, but even with those people, what ever happened to other types of therapy besides just popping pills??
