Video: Cracked Takes A Crack At An Honest Antidepressant Commercial + Bonus!


The Drug-Pushers Are Here For Your Soul:
In this video, Cracked’s Honest Commercials touches on a little bit of our problems with drug companies.

This time, for Antidepressants.

It’s a bit drier and more ironic than their normal stuff, but a lot of it is dead-on.

Especially about switching medications, the placebo effect on mood disorders, incomplete understanding of depression-mechanics and their brain-chemistry roots,

And most of all, Marketing psychoactive drugs to individual consumers…

Video: The Vlog Brothers’ John Green Asks Why American Healthcare Costs Are Too Damn High. More Than A Dozen Reasons!


Capitalism’s Unfortunate Downside:
A little while ago, I found a very shocking statistic.

Though we didn’t have government health insurance until recently, the the stat said the US spends the most money on healthcare; -in the entire world.

The closest competitor to us was Switzerland. And even though you wouldn’t expect to see people dropping like flies in a “rough” place like that, we still spent more.

400% More.

So in this video, John Green of Vlog Brothers and Mental Floss fame turns some research into a newer, more internet-ified picture of why it costs so much here…

Not Just For LOLs:
And now as a reward for surviving tax season, I give you: The Healing Power Of Cats!

While she may put the benefits down to just purring, infographic artist Gemma Busquets is still on the right track.

Several health benefits have been attributed to general pet ownership. For Example: slightly reducing your stress for next tax season by saving you money.

-Because you’ll have to visit the doctor a total of 4% less than a dog owner, and 12% less than someone without a pet. And speaking of health benefits…

Making The Complex A Little Simpler: The Number Needed To Treat

A little while back, we told you about the great conference Wired put on with MDAnderson, called WIRED DATA | Life.

And one of the standout presentations of that conference was put-on by inveterate smartass, David Newman, of the site: The Number Needed to Treat.

Well, Wired has seen fit to remind us of David & Co-Founder Graham Walker’s work in a recent Science post.

 
What the NNT tries to do is take the highest-quality studies it can find and publish a ratings-system…

Wired DATA | Life Conference Intros The Big Data And Analytics Wave To Health

And on the subject of MD Anderson Cancer Center, that reminds me of one more thing.

Back in November, there was a health conference that both MDACC & Wired put on called Wired DATA | Life.

It was a small invitation-only shindig, mostly for people really into the health space, like doctors and biotech entrepreneurs; so it didn’t really get a lot of press coverage.

Nevertheless, for those of you interested in the subject, -ESPECIALLY- its intersection with “Big Data”, some of the segments are really not bad.

So below, there is a list…
