Er, didnt you read their comment? the film was made by doctors including a Neurologist.I expect that you are an 'astroturfer' (fake grass roots) whose job is to promote phamaceutical company interests, but its not washing with us who have extensive experience with disease and medications.The pharma industry is corrupted by the money it seeks, and has no morals, and needs a serious spotlight put on it.

I understand that you feel you are acting out of concern for exploitation. But I still maintain you are acting out of ignorance. Experienced physicians who understand brain-based deficits should be concerned that millions of people in the US alone -- not to mention the rest of the world -- are being judged as lazy when in fact they lack brain-based motivation. And they'd not feed into the anti-psychiatry/anti-medication trend. We need education, not more dumbing-down, especially in Australia.

Without the typos this time!We were not referring to ADHD in this video. There are definitely many people who suffer from that condition and benefit from treatment. This parody was to show how drug companies can sometimes play on fear of illness to sell drugs. This video was not made out of ignorance but out of concern for exploitation of individuals. I am a physician with over 30 years practice and the 'actor' who plays Leth Argos in the video is a very experienced Neurologist

Thnaks for the comment. We were not referrring to ADHD in this video. There are definitely many people who suffer from that condition and benefit from treatment. This parody was to show how drug companies can sometimes play on fear of illness to seel drugs. This video was not made out of ignorance but out of concern for exploitation. I am a physyician with over 30 years practice an the 'actor' who plays Leth Argos in the video is a very experienced Neurolologist in a large teaching hospital

Then if that was your MOTIVATION, you are uninformed. You just don't get it. So, the next time you want to spoof neuroscience, why don't you bother to learn something about it. It's not about profit. It's not about the money trail. People would not take these medications -- in growing numbers-- if they did not elevate their lives. If you had an ounce of compassion, you would have learned that already. But it's so much easier to spoof, and in so doing, just broadcast your own ignorance.
