The fact that you can advertise these things at all is kind of shocking to me. I’d expect psychiatric drugs to be prescribed by a psychiatrist on their medicinal merits rather than purchased on an advertising-driven whim.
Oh, I mean there's all manner of conflict-of-interest, perverse-incentive type stuff going on there - you kind of expect that (sadly) in big business - but it's another whole level of dodginess marketing prescription pharmaceuticals directly to laypeople. It seems only one step above roaming the streets giving out "free samples" wrapped in twists of aluminium foil.
