Modern medicine has made remarkable progress in treating acute and infectious diseases through pharmaceutical interventions, saving millions of lives with antibiotics, vaccines, and targeted therapies. However, critics argue it over-relies on drugs for chronic conditions, often prioritizing symptom management over lifestyle changes, prevention, or root causes. This is fueled by pharmaceutical industry influence, overprescription, disease mongering, and expanding diagnostic thresholds, leading to unnecessary treatments, side effects, and high costs. A balanced approach integrating drugs with non-pharmacological strategies could improve outcomes.https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/288721
