The New York Times published a couple of good articles that touched on the theme of disease-mongering this weekend.
One documented how drug companies sold hormone replacement therapy by making menopause into a disease.
The other showed how drug companies are turning premature ejaculation into a disease that requires treatment.
Disease-mongering for men and women. An equal opportunity marketing tactic. Find it in play in a drug ad near you.
