I meant basically the idea of creating a random "mental health disease" such as ADD, or depression or whatever word they come up with to label symptoms and basically the word makes it seem like a set of symptoms means you have that disorder and people believing it take said drugs made my pharmaceutical companies to heal the symptoms of that word. The words make us believe that there is an entity who is ______ mental diagnoses. From an absolute truth stand point all those are just appearing in consciousness, no one is suffering, there is no entity, depression is not a static diagnoses its merely fleeting sensations/emotions passing through unknowable awareness and nobody owns them, the words aren't real... the map is not the territory. When you have millions believing in these concepts they are a real money maker.

Not to say that people don't suffer, or people don't deserve compassion, or that all drugs are bad, more just insight flowing out of the moment and seemed relevant.
