“As James Surowiecki noted in a New Yorker article, given a choice between developing antibiotics that people will take every day for two weeks and antidepressants that people will take every day for ever, drug companies not surprisingly opt for the latter.

Below the sign was this blurb from a review: “Watching this film is like getting stabbed in the head.” They were sold.”
