If America Medicine had an award show, what would win the People's Drug of Choice? The dependence on pharmaceuticals is great and a widespread epidemic. Think about the people you pass walking down the street... Almost everyone is on something. Here's the top ten pill breakdown:
1. The pill for relaxation, calms anxiety
2. The pill to help you sleep
3. The pill to cure any emotional problems you may have. This seems to be the most popular. Brands may vary, but they are all the ultimate destresser.
4. The pill to help you focus
5. The pill to boost hormone levels and alter physical appearance. Mainly geared towards men... street term - steroid
6. The pill to keep you awake
7. The pill that acts as an social enhancer
8. The pill to keep women from pregnancy
9. The pill to improve sexual performance
10. The health-related pills made for the severe hypochondriac
So, why so many pills? A pill for everything... well, here in America we do like our options. If you can answer the question, then please enlighten me on the matter. All I see is weak dependency, over dramatization and unnecessary escape. Or is this business, just another industry and the FDA should not take all depression medication commercials off national television... hmph!
