Can’t get enough of these commercials about depressed people who already take antidepressants and now need to take additional booster antidepressants— so hopeful! I’d call my doctor right now if my current antidepressant was actually working.

@JoParkerBear I can only imagine how that must land 🫣 … for all the missteps and asymmetry of regulation in Australia* I’m pleased that our Therapeutic Goods Administration prohibits advertising of prescription-only medicines to the general public.

@JoParkerBear

Wall to wall gambling + advertising continues practically unchecked due to powerful gambling lobby having unfettered access to policy makers, despite horror statistic of highest gambling losses in the world.

Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (Government Department Report): https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/australias-welfare/gambling

In Australia, slot machines are everywhere. So is gambling addiction.

Australia is home to 0.3 percent of the world’s population but 20 percent of its “pokies.” The country leads the planet with an average $1,000 in gambling losses per adult per year.

As someone who sees these commercials, has had close relationships with people who take such prescriptions, it doesn't do anything to make me feel better about taking any such medication, even though I probably desperately need them.
