The radio program Fresh Air featured an interview with Dr. Daniel
Carlat, author of the book <title>Unhinged: The Trouble with
Psychiatry.</title>
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128107547

Dr Carlat, a psychiatrist, talks about the tireless efforts of
the pharmaceutical industry to market new psychoactive drugs and
to sell them even when they are proven either not to be effective
or to have dangerous side effects. 
____________
Not just psychoactive drugs....drugs of all kinds and types
continually being "updated" by the "new" on nighttime TV--not
properly tested, often resulting in recalls after people get sick
or die, but fighting recalls and delistings all the way.
