My mental health is hanging by a thread on a good day. How dare he think he knows better than therapists, prescribers, and the patients themselves.

Every single person reading this knows multiple people that will be seriously harmed without psychiatric meds, and more than a few will die. This man is an affront to humanity.

Can't believe I agree with RFK. As a nurse of 43 yrs, I've observed how difficult it is for people to get off antidepressants. SSRIs embed so they can't get off without a great deal of trauma worse than the reason they started. New drugs are needed without the devastating side effects.

I'm not saying they should'nt be used but the new generation of drugs are far more resistant to tappering off. In the end they have to go on another SSRI. There are great benefits but the down side has to be imperically explored.
