“In psychiatry, as in all areas of medicine, prescribing and deprescribing occur every day as part of individualized, evidence-based treatment planning between physicians and patients. The solution is not to stigmatize psychiatric medication or impose broad assumptions on clinical care, but to ensure that patients have access to the full range of evidence-based treatments and that decisions are guided by the best available science and each patient’s needs.”

RFK Jr. Is Already Taking Aim at Antidepressants
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/kennedy-rfk-antidepressants-ssri-school-shootings/Robert F. Kennedy, Jr has been planted by Trump in the role of Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services.
He wants to slash scientifically-established medication, hospital treatment, financial benefits, and government programs for people with these conditions:
- Chronic illness.
- Autism.
- ADHD, and medication including Adderall and Ritalin.
- Asthma.
- Obesity.
- Multiple sclerosis.
- Psoriasis.
- Mental illness such as depression and anxiety, and SSRI medication including Prozac and Zoloft.RFK Jr says wants people who live with chronic illness such as those listed above — who often require daily preventative medication, a professional carer/assistant, or an assistive device for their daily functioning and to maintain their quality of life and sense of dignity and autonomy — to be stripped of their treatment and put into in "Wellness Farms" for "three or four years if they need it".
This is the sort of inhumane mistreatment of people requiring medical care that happened in the USSR and still goes on today in North Korea. It should not happen in the USA.
This move by RFK Jr is going to destroy childhoods, ruin families, cause people financial ruin, and for some people it will cost them their life.

CW: Sexual dysfunction, antidepressants
"[S]he was called neurotic by her GP, who insisted that SSRIs could not cause sexual dysfunction and sent her home to do deep breathing exercises. But far worse would follow.
“... I was sectioned and placed involuntarily into psychiatric care as the psychiatrist said I had ‘delusional disorder’, and tried to put me on antipsychotics. It shattered my trust in ever seeking help for my mental health again”."

Someone recently told me that he won't try taking antidepressants because he doesn't want to be numbed by drugs. I probably thought this way, too, but I've found it to be the other way around.
Depression is numbing. Anxiety is a locked room. I'm not a psychiatrist, but it's my understanding that #SSRIs reverse the neurological damage caused by #depression. I've experienced this as winter into spring.

New blog post comparing running therapy to antidepressants!
This isn't the first study to find equivalent outcomes. What's a bit more interesting is thinking about the adherence & sub populations who this is a viable alternative for.
