This video/ song is on the subject of medication, depression and self-perception. Now for the promised video, the song "Symptom finger" by The Faint.
Although not my personal taste in music, the message is there and more powerful than ever in the modern world.
The song tells us of how the medical companies and the professionals themselves who are supposed to help cure us are often just after the money. There is a lot of cash in the medical world, and money attracts the greedy. The prescription of certain drugs, operations and treatments is often not there for you, but for the business.
Worldwide, children are prescribed drugs such as Ritalin and Concerta when they may not need these medications. The media is often use to promote the use of such medications, most often anti-depressants and concentration aids.
Many people these days don't realise that medical-usage drugs do still have very many negative side-effects, and that many times anti-depressants are not an easy way out so much as a long and problematic road that often does not help unless you are, clinically and chemically depressive.
