Ban drug company ads on television

Ban drug ads on television.

Why is this important?

When my daughter was 6 years old she saw an ad on a television commercial for a drug for "restless leg syndrome" and thought she had it from the symptoms they described. She is a normal kid who tossed and turned when she slept like most of us do occassionally. It was not "restless leg syndrome" (if that is even a real condition). They should not be able to put snipets of conditions, and the magic pill to fix it on television commercials. It is brainwashing everyone to think their is a pill for everything, and that they are possibly sick when they are probably not. That is for a doctor to determine. I am sick of being bombarded with this stuff, and we are becoming a nation of over medicated people. Let the drug companies put stuff on the internet where you have to do a search on a topic, not on public television where we have no control over what topic is popping up in front of our kids during commercials.
