A few years old, still a good movie. It took a stand on global warming, which you may or may not agree with, but it gives good examples of human population problems.

We are afraid of getting sick. Our fear is, at times, overwhelming. It is a thought in the back of our minds, and it surfaces as we sit on our couches and watch TV during a drug commercial with a slightly louder volume. The drug commercials list the ailments that we may have, and the symptoms that we suffer from. Toward the end of the commercial, it lists the side effects the new drug may give us, but the emphasis is always on the new drug and it’s benefits. We do as the commercial says and make the necessary appointment with our doctor. We tell him or her that we want to try the new drug. We really believe that this new drug will make us feel better, as the commercial describes. We become a new consumer of the pharmaceutical company that manufactured the drug.
We, as a society, have never been so immersed in our fears of our own physical dispositions and it is on the increase. We rely on the drug market for the quick relief of our discomforts, and who might be profiting from this? The medical establishment, the health insurance establishment, and the pharmaceutical companies would be. We are so afraid of illness that we will gladly submit to vaccines to apparently protect us from possible future illnesses.

Mental illness is not separate from this behavior modification for the benefit of profit.
