The pharmaceutical companies are creating a nation of drug reliant hypochondriacs through the use of television commercials aimed at the general public. The purpose of the commercials is somewhat unclear. One may conclude the only real winners are the pharmaceutical companies, and the cable companies who are paid billions of dollars each year in commercial revenue. The pharmaceutical industry has become the acting grim reaper, and the savior, through the use of prescription drugs. Creating a healthy nation through being active, and good nutrition should be our goal.
Often, the drugs themselves have so many side effects, you need more medications to treat the side effects, which just creates even more of them. It’s a vicious cycle!

I would add that the vast majority of those watching the commercials are unable and unqualified to purchase said medications. Therefore they are simply wasting our time and raising costs .
