All pharmaceuticals should be tested against the control of handing the patient the cost of the medication in cash.
I bet hundreds of dollars a month would provide depression and anxiety relief for a significant portion of the population.
- jachee 7y agoYou clearly don't know anyone suffering from depression and/or anxiety. If you think money relieves anything—regardless of the amount—you're quite mistaken. Robin Williams was a literal multi-millionaire, and if money relieved anything, he'd still be here.
- stordoff 7y agoNo, but money worries can exacerbate anxiety. If the drug is marginally effective, the money may provide more (but _far_ from complete) relief. Context: I have a long-term anxiety condition (GAD+OCD).
