This isn't surprising. There is really a bias toward over-diagnosis and getting patients on expensive medications. It's not a surprise that pdocs get samples of meds that cost retail $750/month.
These treatments should really be restricted to the truly mentally ill, not those with moderate depression. However, the drug companies make billions from convincing people that a pill is necessary to treat mild to moderate depression when in fact it doesn't do anything.
Then we have pdocs that don't take insurance and bill at $500/hour cash.
