Why does America make up a syndrome for EVERYTHING ...?

Question

like there is now pills you can take if you feel your extra moody before your period ...

or if you get extra depressed during the winter ...


or STUPID THINGS like that! its like HELLOOOOO thats normal ... but they just want to make up a diagnosis for it ... so they can prescribe more drugs to people!



anyone know what im talking about? AGREE or DISAGREE?

Answer 1

I think it is hilarious. I do agree that they are making up excuses for people to be assholes & the drug companies can make more money. I thought the restless leg sydrome was especially funny.

Answer 2

Because the pharmaceutical companies are BIG business and if they can get a few hundred thousand women to take a drug because they are moody during their period...that's another several million dollars in their pockets. They have a pill for everything, and yet we can't cure the common cold.

Chris Rock did a segment in one of his routines about there not being any money in the cure for diseases. The money is in the treatment, so they will find a way to help you LIVE with cancer, or Aids. If they cured cancer and AIDS, the drug companies would go broke. The last big thing they cured was Polio...and that was back way before my time and I'm 30.

So if they can keep the American people medicated...then they stay in business. Its all about money...

Answer 3

You're right of course and big time. Maybe the attorneys have something to do with it, claiming to have you 'get paid' if you sneeze going through a door, or break a heel at an inopportune moment. And they go after the doctors who may or may not make up the 'syndromes.' Would that rule out complicity, or cement it? Someday someone will probably sue and collect for getting 'Syndrome syndrome.' Sheesh. D'uh, agree.

Answer 4

I agree. They advertise to people's insecurities. The 'health' community completely knows what they are doing! How many times have you watched a commercial for depression and been like, "yeah, I am depressed, I have all of those symptoms sometimes!" They put the medecine out there and tell you what it's for so you can self diagnose and come into the doctor's office and basically put in your order! I totally agree with you! One.

Answer 5

I totally agree. My husband's grandson was diagnosed with a mild form of autism. I think it's just that they spoil him rotten and give him sodas and junk food. That's the real reason he has a hard time concentrating.

And you're right, it's so the pharmaceutical companies can find and invent new drugs to sell so they can make a ton of money. (And this is ONLY in America). It's all about the money.

Answer 6

because people want a quick fix, one pill cure all. and the pharmaceutical companies know that.
if you could get billions of dollars by duping people you never had to meet face to face, would you?
if not, then you are not suited for big business.
it's just that simple.
some things are biologically proven though, the depression in winter is a decrease in vitamin D, for those of us in the snow states. and sometimes a pill is the best way to replace what's lost.

Answer 7

It's called marketing and money making. If there is a drug for everything, there is money coming in and somebody's getting rich. Just ignore all of it - we're all a lot more normal then the health industry would like us to think.

Answer 8

There is only one way to keep the major pharmaceutical companies in business, keep telling people that they are sick. That way they can prescribe some off the wall drug that you don't need anyways and charge your insurance company out the wazoo.

Answer 9

Conspiracy by the AMA to make everyone dependent on medications. Follow the money to the source of the problem.

Answer 10

I agree. It's just a marketing ploy to make more money. Greedy b@$t@rds!
