I have to take meds for the exact same situation (without them I’m a wreck). That doesn’t mean I have to like it. Let’s say you’re a drug company that makes pill X that treats condition Y. You make a hefty profit and could use that money that ultimately makes it so in one shot you can cure/eliminate condition Y. Instead you use that money to lobby congress, bribe generic companies to keep them from selling the generic form of pill X sooner and some of it to tweak pill X slightly in order to have a new version when the generic does come out. That’s what we have at the moment in most cases.
