Episode 426: The business of suffering (every solution needs a problem)

In this second episode of a two-part series, I discuss the
economic incentives driving the West's epidemic of mental
illness. Given certain regulatory requirements, it is generally
easier for drug companies to receive FDA approval if their
products treat disorders that do not already have a treatment of
demonstrated efficacy. This motivates the proliferation of new
disorders and an ever-widening definition of pathology. By
definition, more and more people become mentally ill, who will be
offered treatments that have already been created for them.
