When More is not Enough

That sounds like me... At first I thought I have "DSACDAD" - Dysphoric Social Attention Consumption Deficit Anxiety Disorder. Then I found out that it's a hoax!!!
An Australian artist Justine Cooper created the fake website advertises medication "Havidol" for a newly recognised disorder. Ms. Cooper is mocking not only the drug industry for pathologising everyday life and creating drugs for imaginary disorders, but also the nagging feeling in a consumer-oriented society that "more is not enough". If they take her drug, patients will report renewed interest in themselves, an increased ability to spend, a return to former self esteem levels and a surge in well-being and drinking alcohol is not contra-indicated. Visit the website and take the quiz whether you have DSACDAD or not.
