Any other HA sufferers fed up with all these medical commercials/drug commercials? It seems like that is the majority of all commercials now and it certainly drives my anxiety up! I always end up researching whats on the commercial with Dr. Google. Ahhhh, less TV!

I think they are meant to scare people into taking action but can have an adverse effect cos people panic.

Take for example the bowel cancer advert - I have all the symptoms - constant diarrhea and bleeding but I don't have bowel cancer.

I guess they want people to think about things more and get them checked out cos a lot of people don't

OMG, I know exactly what you mean. It's always almost all negative. Nuclear this, Shooting that, End of World 2012. Scientist to create black hole... Really?!? No wonder people are depressed all the time, how about some happy journalism and good news. Today on the news, everything is swell, the sun is out , its a nice warm day and nothing bad is going to happen.

I haven't noticed then in Ireland .
But I would guess they advertise prescription meds on tv in the US?
I hate the car crash ones :(
I tend to record tv so I can skip over the adverts as I don't have the patience for them.
