I appreciate everyone's opinions here. It's fascinating. I come up against a negative attitude to pharmaceutical companies (it seems) all over....It's just more concentrated here, probably for other reasons, but in particular, most of us take some form of meds and so I had a higher concentration to ask.....thank you all.
It's a complex issue, I think, that (like anything in life, I suppose) we focus on those particular facets that really hit a nerve.....Perhaps focusing on one or two aspects that we're really passionate about.

I am actually glad of that in an unrelated way....finding passion about anything when you have depression surely must be a good thing....No?
