Boy, I'm beginning to get hooked on Youtube. 8)

So we now have ADD/ADHD, bi-polar, social anxiety disease, gastric reflux disease, PMDD, restless leg, etc.

If we think deeply about it, we are now made to confuse the symptom as the disease, just to push drugs. Is fever a disease? Is high cholesterol a disease? Is high CRP a disease? Is hypertension a disease? Is pain a disease? To all these, I would say, "No." But all these account for a big chunk of Big Pharma's income.
