Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former President Donald Trump have launched a campaign against widely used antidepressants and weight loss drugs, claiming these medications pose significant risks to Americans. RFK Jr. controversially suggested that SSRIs could be as addictive as heroin, prompting experts to refute this claim and highlight the importance of addressing the issue of over-prescription, especially in children. As the duo pushes their narrative, mental health professionals have expressed concern over the potential panic this could incite among patients reliant on these medications. With calls for broader investigations into the safety and efficacy of antidepressants like Lexapro, Zoloft, and Paxil, the conversation around mental health medications is intensifying. This movement has led to heightened awareness of the complexities surrounding mental health treatment and the need for careful consideration of the medications prescribed.
