See third paragraph on the Conference Programme page at http://www.diseasemongering.org/content/about.jsp "Contentiously characterised as 'disease-mongering' by the late Lynn Payer many marketing strategies appear to be about selling sickness in order to sell drugs. Examples of disorders that have been represented in this way are as diverse as male and female erectile dysfunction, social anxiety disorder, alopecia, and irritable bowl. No-one questions that some individuals suffering from these 'conditions' experience genuine morbidity." Don't forget angry saucers and terrible teacups - I suffer a lot from those. Cello!
