Pharmaceutical companies are

Pharmaceutical companies are well-known for medicalising social problems, turning normal behaviour into pathologiesThe pharmaceutical companies create imaginary illnesses, doctors and their patients are led to believe these are real complaints and then prescribe the treatment conveniently manufactured by the pharmaceutical companies based upon falsified research. (Advertisers follow a similar process…create imaginary needs that require to be satisfied.) I suggest that indeed in the real world we are told that "the sun revolves around the earth" by science. Fortunately, better later than never,  the scientific method does kick in and the supposed reality we were all led to think as really reality is exposed for what it was – make-believe. In our political world, is false consciousness the same? I believe it is an Engels' word, not used by Marx.
