I think the average joe six pack CAN understand this stuff.
The problem, at its heart, is that people are lazy about medications. The "doctor as god" mentality persists even to this day, despite the fact that the difference between the old "family doctor" who lived within the small community and cared about his patients and today's 15-minute-at-a-time, as-many-patients-as possible doctors is vast and no longer justifies the trust it once did (and even then...).
Patient: "I have a headache"
Doctor: "Have this prescription filled and take as directed."
Patient: "Okay".
That's how it goes for the vast majority of people. Many of us in the mental-health community have learned to ask questions, challenge p-docs' prescriptions, etc., but far too few still do--usually those of us who do have had experiences which taught us not to have so much faith. But the fact remains that, whatever the drug and however it's approved, people will take what's given to them, and probably not even read any warnings on the labels, or anything else unless they see some kind of warning on TV. Even then, how many men have taken Viagra, etc., when they have no reason to? So you have to fix that first, THEN go on to how to educate people.

In your 20's you're singing I Can't Live Without You karaoke to your best girl...
In your 40's, in never been less healthy America, you're resigning yourself to admitting that those words now belong to a drug company for a drug that is impossible for you to create yourself.
I guess Until Death, Do We Part, Humalog...
Go fuck yourself.
