The best way to understand how Big Pharma uses advertising to convince many normal healthy women to become dependent upon a daily dose of antidepressants is to study the history of Big Tobacco advertising to women to overcome society's taboo against women smoking by identifying smoking with women's rights and equality. Prozac was the first blockbuster antidepressant marketed directly to the consumer beginning in 1987. If one studies antidepressant advertising beginning with Prozac in the 1980's up until today they will note a theme similar to smoking advertisement and the most advertisements are created from a woman's perspective.

Big Tobacco like Big Pharma advertise to women to make them feel that smoking cigarettes make a woman sexy, independent, happy and completes our lives.

Antidepressant medication used appropriately by people that need it, prescribed by doctors as part of an overall therapy plan can be responsible. But Big Pharma crosses the line to inappropriate when they advertise directly to consumers to sell healthy women unhappiness and promote daily antidepressant medication as a means to make our lives complete and our roles as women, mothers, sisters and wives fullfilling. So many women would be better off if they spoke to a therapist, friend or priest about their troubles because they might talk through the discomforting issues rather than damper them with a dose of antidepressants.

Paulina Porizkova's doctor should be commended for presenting antidepressants to her as a temporary measure to reduce her anxiety while she engaged in talk therapy to resolve her problems. Most doctors would have just written the prescriptions for antidepressant indefinitely after a 10 minute sessions in three month intervals without a question about what the patient's real feelings are and what the real issues are that are causing the patient's unhappiness because this produces the most profitable medical insurance reimbursement. Women who can't advocate for themselves are likely to be victims of this practice.
Paulina Porizkova served women well by explaining how women can avoid the emotional price of a lifetime of antidepressants because they are unwilling or unable to take charge of their lives and advocate for themselves.
