Drug Companies Using Stay-at-Home Moms as Guinea Pigs
Grrrr....I hate those ads.
You know the ones that are usually on during daytime T.V. (targeting stay-at-home moms who might be lonely, but not necessarily in need of medication) where they show a depressed person talking about how sad they are, how lonely and how sometimes they don't feel like getting out of bed.
Then the announcer says if you feel like this, you might"qualify" for experimental treatment that basically invites you to be a guinea pig for a drug company. I love the word "qualify", which they always use to make it sound like you're winning a prize or something.
I guess it's a prize if you call handing your life over to a drug company and their testing lab.
If you feel depressed, talk to your family and see how you can get yourself out of it. Sometimes, talking about it helps. If you're a stay-at-home mom at home all the time, getting out more often and finding more purpose for your time can make a world of difference.
If you can't seem to shake it, talk to your doctor...not a drug company...please.

Amen Alice!! I couldn't have said it better myself.
God only knows what the medications can do you without being issued properly. I hope that not many women are just jumping up to call in and use themselves as guinnea pigs.
