Supplements that contain tianeptine, a dangerous substance that can cause adverse health effects, have recently been illegally marketed as treatments for depression, opioid use disorder, pain, and anxiety. The federal Food and Drug Administration has issued warnings to two companies for making unproven, illegal claims about supplements that contain tianeptine. Supplement companies are forbidden from marketing their products as a cure for anything since they are not medications. The FDA has not approved tianeptine for any use.

Elderly people who live in for-profit nursing homes in Nevada are likelier to suffer from neglect and abuse than older adults who live in non-profits or in private homes in the community. There are a number of reasons why nursing home abuse is more prevalent in for-profit homes, including lower wages for front-line staff, an emphasis on profits over people, lower morale, and understaffing. For-profit nursing homes also are likelier to overbill Medicare for services that were unneeded or that were not provided.
