North America Selling Sickness explores the unhealthy relationships between society, medical science and the pharmaceutical industry as they promote their new miracle cures -- selling not just drugs but also the latest diseases that go with them. Drug manufacturers today fund aggressive marketing campaigns designed to create public awareness of previously unknown diseases, or known by less dramatic names. Shyness thus becomes branded as "Social Anxiety Disorder," constant worry becomes "Generalized Anxiety Disorder," and premenstrual tension is now "Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder."

The sale of SSRI anti-depressant medications used to treat these and other diseases, such as Paxil, Zoloft and Prozac, has become an annual $20 billion market. Selling Sickness features commentary from paid medical consultants to the drug companies, patients, researchers, patient advocates, advertisers, attorneys, and psychiatrist Dr. David Healy, a critic of the pharmaceutical industry. The film also examines the deceptive use of clinical trials sponsored by the pharmaceutical companies, the highly addictive nature and many adverse side effects (like suicidal impulses among adolescent patients) of popular SSRI anti-depressants. At an FDA hearing in Washington, D.C., the testimony of parents who have lost their children to suicide starkly emphasizes the need for greater regulation of these heavily promoted and prescribed anti-depressants.

Whats wrong with being shy? Does everyone have to be a bubbly loud mouthed jackass?

@eBiology "2 lawsuits against psychiatry, yet thousands against Scientology?" Where are you getting that fact?

[boxerpup7]

so i dont mind spelling it out. medical doctors are trained to not believe their patients abd why go to a doctor if they are not goign to listen to what works for the independant person? what they have been thru or why cant the medical records be accurate? I think it may have alot to do with a democratic thing right now. for the last seven years been put thru hell constant, not allowed to have a christmas, not allowed to have adequate medical care regardless to how much ins i have, etc.

called ansiety attacks however, related to the ibuprofen medications along with other very serious side effects. yes, I am having a very bad night tonight and weekend, i can sit here and go over about oh, a thousand medications and the things that happened to me while on them. I am very uset and angry during the halloween weekends and yes, if spite me i am not spiteful, I have put up with all this for like oh, more then 30 yrs, i have just had about enough of being played and ticked off,

other treatments for ms that have given me serious side effects, to include swelliing that nearly killed me to incude the feeling of drowning. lyrica and nuerontin and so many others that I just cannot take and the results visibly viewed by the medical professionals and without a doubt definately related to the medications i was on. provigil is another serious medication, heart attack was the side effect on that medication, to include the ibruprofen ongoing attacks on a regular basis, was

is different and no two people respond to medications in the same way. there are some medications that i have literally had to have my doctor on the telephone constantly to get thru the side effects of the medications. Not something doctors want to do. baclofen for example is one that is very serious when it came to me and the MS. I could not form my letter R's properly when talking when i was on baclofen. it struck me in the base of my head. and was also a terrible medication. two others are

different medications. side effects that i have already been a medical guiney pig for so many medications, that there arent many medications I had not been put on without many times very severe reactions. some to include just the color of or in the pill has caused a reaction. When the colors in some others do not and stands to reason why. the color in those are related to the anti allergy properties of those meds is why the anti allergic response does nto manifest in those. regardless everyone

zoloft, prozac, nexium, are all poisons to me. Nexium made me sicker then the treatment i was taking it for. Where as prevacid was good until it went over the counter or my symptoms worsened either way, but ultimately i had taken one of the greatest in my opinion stomach meds. however there is what i believe stands to reason why viagra was created, when it comes to destroyin marriages regarding the zombie nature of these drugs. to be fair i am severely allergic to the ibuprofen drugs, & many

instilled in people to keep them safe or from otherwise acting out in ways that could cause them harm or what over exposure to a social environment depending on teh envrionments associated with, to be in harms way, or act other then what would be expected inside of a marriage, etc. During the time I was on zoloft, that made me feel so extremely strange i would never touch it again. however, also caused seizures. One of the more horrible experiences in my life of medications.For myself, paxil.

did great on it, wat happened in my opinion is it reduced her normal inhibition to coduct herself in a way that was less then desirable, tore her family apart by her reduced seff control by the usage of this drug in my opinion. These medications are long acting, definately reduce your caring mechanisms,cause people to act in a way they otherwise would not conduct their own personal actions. Some shyness, reservation, is good. It is if not overly anti socialized, can be a normal defense mechanism

[boxerpup7]

and tested while off of it, and also on zoloft, both zoloft and paxil both contributed to my having seizures, contributed to, caused and zoloft caused a great deal more side effects then many of the medications I was tried on. I was actually tried on these medications for pain management more then anything, i also have panic anxiety along wth Multiple sclerosis, I had been placed on numerous medications that are seriously dangerous to me. I know someone that loves being on paxil and thought she
