Ja, I feel that. They're definitely leaning into it and addressing the problem in a self-serving way that won't solve it. I definitely see ////////them\\\\\\\\ trying to keep the question of which medication on people's minds as opposed to whether or not one needs medication at all. That said, I think that what they're leaning into is genuine.

There's a paradox in medicinal marketing where the least effective treatments get the most promotion. When there's reliable science behind a drug, that research speaks for itself and doctors prescribe it when necessary without as much prompting. Obviously the route of promotion via scientific credibility can be p-hacked into which is why peer review is important and all that bidness.
