    TITLE: Opinion: RFK Jr.’s antidepressant deprescribing push gets one thing right — and others dangerously wrong

    URL: statnews.com/2026/05/13/antide

    I recently helped a woman in her early 60s taper off fluoxetine (often known by the brand name Prozac), which she had taken for over 35 years, followed by bupropion (aka Wellbutrin), which she had taken for over a decade.

    But Kennedy’s initiative conflates that genuine clinical need with claims unsupported by evidence — and some that are actively dangerous.

  4. Не верящий в динозавров Игорь Ашманов и отрицающий эпилепсию Василий Генералов приняты в Академию ВРАЛ

    22 марта в Петербурге вручали премию за наибольший вклад в распространение лженауки в минувшем году. Звания «Почётного Академика ВРАЛ – 2025» удостоился известный IT-специалист и предприниматель, к.т.н. Игорь Ашманов.

    Жюри, состоящее из ученых, присудило Игорю премию за публичные высказывания, в которых бизнесмен отрицает биологическую эволюцию, заявляет, что не верит в самопроизвольное развитие языков и «в динозавров». Победитель, по правилам премии, награждается призом — статуэткой «Грустный рептилоид». Кроме того, в финал премии вышли математик, член-корреспондент РАН Алексей Савватеев, известный выступлениями в поддержку креационизма и гомеопатии, и дизайнер Артемий Лебедев, отрицающий глобальное потепление и заявляющий, что смертность от СПИДа «это вообще ни о чем». В народном голосовании большинство голосов досталось Алексею Савватееву.

    Член жюри, Академик РАН Евгений Александров выразил озабоченность тем, что лженаука проникает внутрь РАН — «престиж Академии наук важен, потому что люди доверяют ей».

    «Почётным Академиком АПЧХИ» — главным распространителем лженауки в области медицины жюри из медиков признало д.м.н., невролога Василия Генералова, отрицающего эпилепсию как диагноз, продвигающего лечение аутизма у детей методами с недоказанной эффективностью и пугающего аудиторию последствиями прививок. Победитель удостоился оздоровительного приза — «Золотой кофейной клизмы». Членом-корреспондентом АПЧХИ выбрали д.м.н., хирурга Владислава Шафалинова, связывающего рост числа онкологических заболеваний с вакцинацией и электромагнитным излучением, предлагающего лечить рак «ощелачивающей терапией» и другими сомнительными методами. Врач, д.м.н. Сергей Бубновский, призывающий лечить широкий спектр заболеваний исключительно гимнастикой, не получил ни одного голоса жюри и поэтому в Академию АПЧХИ принят не был. «Приз зрительских симпатий» достался Владиславу Шафалинову.

    Руководитель оргкомитета премии ВРАЛ научный журналист Александр Соколов выразил удивление по поводу того, что в финале медицинской премии впервые оказалось 3 доктора наук и задался вопросом: «Неужели ученая степень в области медицины значит так мало?» Ведущая премии, врач к.м.н. Ольга Жоголева выразила надежду, что сейчас, когда научно обоснованная медицина набирает обороты, есть шанс, что ситуация изменится к лучшему.

    В рамках мероприятия состоялись выступления биолога, к.б.н. Ильи Удалова на тему «Так в чём Дарвин не прав?» и аллерголога, к.м.н. Ольги Жоголевой «Правда о БАДах».

    Организатор премии — научно-просветительский портал Антропогенез.ру и проект «Ученые Против Мифов».

    Среди членов жюри: академик РАН, д.ф.-м.н. Евгений Александров, д.г.н. Алексей Екайкин, д.х.н.Игорь Дмитриев, д.г.н. Ольга Соломина, д.ф.-м.н. Эмиль Ахмедов, д.г.н. Елена Сухачева, д.б.н. Тамара Кузнецова, д.и.н. Кирилл Назаренко, д.м.н. Юрий Сиволап, д.м.н. Сергей Поликарпов, к.м.н. Юлия Зинченко, к.м.н. Анна Дроганова, к.м.н. Игнат Рудченко и др.

    Полный состав жюри

    ВРАЛ — Вруническая Академия Лженаук, АПЧХИ — Академия Превентивной ЧакроХирургии.

    Премия «Почётный Академик ВРАЛ» присуждается с 2016 года. По словам организаторов, цель премии — в шутливой форме заявить о проблеме лженауки и привлечь внимание общественности к важности борьбы с заблуждениями.

  6. How do we make informed health decisions about traditional, complementary & integrative medicine (TCIM)?

    This updated interpretive review explores the challenges.
    📖 sciencedirect.com/science/arti

    🔍 The synthesis of 167 publications, including WHO, EVIPNet, GRADE, and TCIM-specific guidance affirmed the importance of:
    1. Transparent decision-making processes with TCIM stakeholders
    2. Context-sensitive framing to optimise TCIM relevance
    3. Whole-of-evidence approach, including traditional knowledge (TK)
    4. Centering equity, including epistemic equity

    TCIM guideline developers are leading the way with rigorous, inclusive strategies evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM).

    By respecting diverse knowledge systems, these innovations offer valuable models for global health policy and guideline development.

  7. What a surprise!

    There is some evidence that some "alternative medicine" treatments for autism work!

    And at least one scientist claimed that the article shows "no evidence".

    Science is difficult.
    Combining it with emotions, and attitudes like #Skepticism, might occassionally make doing science too tricky.

  8. @marcrr

    I get wanting to show the very widespread failures & poor evidence.

    Why the extra step to "no evidence"?

    Oxytocin: "restricted/repetitive behaviours in adults, ... small effect size was found".

    "supported by at least moderate levels of evidence ... was the consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids in school-age children"

    " number of interventions ... large effect sizes ...reached statistical significance, but ... supported by very low levels of evidence."

  9. What a surprise! There's no evidence that "alternative medicine" treatments for autism work, and their security hasn't been tested. #EvidenceBasedMedicine

  10. Wie hilft man trans* und nichtbinären Kindern und Jugendlichen angesichts gezielter, pauschalen Kampagnen?
    Durch ein cooles Queerwiki mit Fakten und hilfreichen Artikeln wie zum Beispiel diesem hier von Dr. Dr. Claudia Haupt (Psychiaterin, Psychotherapeutin und seit Jahren in der trans* Beratung und Fortbildung aktiv):

    Maybe related;
    I've found multiple groupings around #Homeopathy.

    #EvidenceBasedMedicine says (perhaps) "We need large RandomControlledTrails to determine it's efficacy".
    #ScienceBasedMedicine want to reject it's use as it's claimed mechanism is entirely fanciful.
    #Skeptics follow #SBM .
    #Clinicians (some) see (some) good outcomes and don't care if they're #PlaceboEffect #Placebo or not.
    #PleasedUsers get results they want.
    #DisappointedUsers try but aren't satisfied.

    There are academics / scientists who distinguish between #EBM #EvidenceBasedMedicine and #SBM #ScienceBasedMedicine.

    EBM seems to fetishise #RandomControlledTrails #RCTs as the #GoldStandard and has given us at least the #Cochrane review on #Masking by #TomJefferson.

    And, I think, also the #CassReport into medical care for young transgender people. Here AIUI over relevant 700 studies were rejected on the basis that they weren't RCTs leaving 2 RTCs considered.

  20. @jeffjarvis

    All those false positives ("indidentalomas") from full body #MRI will get expensive workups and then follow up studies that will be paid by the rest of us via higher insurance premiums and taxes.

    Get some data first please. Failing that, add a special tax on these to cover the extra workups upfront instead of socializing their false positive costs to everyone.

  22. We've seen what ⁨#EBM⁩ ⁨#EvidenceBasedMedicine⁩ produces;
    on #Masking with #TomJefferson⁩ assisted by #Cochrane,
    the decades of infectious respiratory disease research that poo-hooed #AirborneTransmission, and,
    the RWNJ #CassReport⁩ on care for transgender kids.

    Lots of bad stuff resulting from fetishising ⁨#RandomControlledTrials⁩ ⁨#RCTs⁩ as the only research that can be relied on.

    Will we hear from Trumpists that there's no RCTs that support action on #ClimateChange?

    As a #familyphysician , I'd love to try an #AI assistant to help look up information on diagnosis and management. Searching #uptodate #dynamed and #pubmed is very limited and too time consuming for some cases.
    Searching on #clinicalkey or #tufts university's library is horribly ineffective most of the time

  24. Time for an #introduction, #MedMastodon! I am a family and community physician at the Federal University of Espírito Santo, 🇧🇷, working in the #PrimaryCare internship. Among other activities, I serve as peer reviewer and associate editor in specialty journals. I have a PhD in #epidemiology and am certified in scientific publications. I am interested in #EvidenceBasedMedicine, #QuantMethods, and good practices in both researching and editing.

    The area of "traditional medicine" seems so enturbulated.
    Differing cultural paradigms of reality, a continuum stretching from 'consumer goods and services' through 'health supplements' to 'commercialised medicine' to 'current standard medicine'.
    And with #ScienceBasedMedicine competing with #EvidenceBasedMedicine (EBM sounded so good until 'Masks don't work' & the Cass Report).
