In this second episode of a twopart series, I discuss the economic incentives driving the West's epidemic of mental illness. Given certain regulatory requirements, it is generally easier for drug companies to receive FDA approval if their products treat disorders that do not already have a treatment of demonstrated efficacy. This motivates the proliferation of new disorders and an everwidening definition of pathology. By definition, more and more people become mentally ill, who will be offered treatments that have already been created for them.
