Promoting mental illness for profit

As Seen in this article in Forbes Magazine:

What makes some products irresistible? Neuroscientists are racing to find the answer to that question--and to pass it along to consumer marketers.


We also have this recent article on how being a shopaholic may be a new mental disease.

So we now have the situation of some mental health professionals being paid to promote or create something that they have declared to be a mental illness.

Psychs promoting or learning to create mental illness for profit?

Oh, the marvels of modern science, and what you can do when you leave out logic and a sense of ethics.
