A. Why doesn’t an increase in medication use always correspond to a decrease in illness diagnoses, and how can it sometimes lead to a higher rate of illness diagnoses in a population? What implications does this have regarding the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on the perceptions of health and illness among doctors and patients? Include insights from one of this week’s readings or videos in your discussion.
B. How would you respond if a patient visits your office, informs you they have ADHD and asks for a specific medication they’ve seen advertised on television?
The assignment should be about 2 pages and paraphrase the information, avoid direct quotes, and include appropriate citations and a reference page.
