Seidenberg R.
Advertising and abuse of drugs.
N Engl J Med 1971 Apr 8; 284:(14):789-90

Advertisements for psychoactive drugs seem intent on widening indications into areas of human experience that might call for social action and psychologic insight. Physicians have been seduced and overwhelmed by dependence on the revenue from drug advertising.
