So if he wants to make the world a place where people don’t need antidepressants anymore, how about he abolishes capitalism and let every person have a house without having to pay money for it, and let everyone grow our own gardens, let everyone live anywhere we want, travel is free, food costs nothing, if people have talents and skills that other people want to learn, then we are taught & learn & share & barter
THAT’S COMMUNISM
Sure, take away the meds that prevent people from making highly irrational decisions… like doing illigal things with guns. Or if they don’t have a gun, illigal things with knives. Perhaps we’ll get a new oracle out of it when a Christian nut job gets off thier meds and preaches naked in the streets.
This guy needs to die to his own advice so the universe balances.
Didn’t he also have a plan of forcibly sentencing people going cold-turkey off banned psychiatric medication to “therapy” on “organic food farm” labour camps?
Yep. He also wants to “reparent” black children.
oh goodie. we really are going back to the lead paint era.
If I lose my Viibryd I won’t be the first person on my hitlist
Millions of Americans have been severely harmed by corporations and politicians, and extremely few people fight back. Why is that?
You try it with three days of leave a year.
The solution will be “Just be happy”. This is gonna kill so many people.
and it’s not going to be suicides, it’s going to be murder-suicides. because momma always said, if someone tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back

A letter issued on Monday from top HHS officials details to providers the goal to reduce antidepressant use and encourages the use of non-medication options for treating depression, including psychotherapy, diet, physical activity and social connection
Essentially, “eat healthier, exercise, get more friends, and also somehow find a way to afford therapy” 💀
It’s not like those things can never improve your mood, but at the end of the day a lot of people on antidepressants are either already trying these things, or won’t have their extremely bad situation improved by them, especially given a lot of it is around financial stress, and all of these take money. (healthier food costs more, exercise past stuff like jogging requires either buying your own weights or paying for a gym membership, most activities with friends cost money since third spaces are dying, and therapy is hella expensive)
Plus, depression makes it harder for a person to drag themselves out of bed to socialize, or go to the gym, or plan healthy meals. Antidepressants are often a way to help people to be capable of doing things like those because they don’t feel like shit by default.
Some people don’t understand that it’s not an either or too.
I’m lucky enough to be able to afford therapy. I exercise and eat mostly healthy. I STILL need my anti-anxiety meds or else I spiral on the smallest shit. Eating more broccoli doesn’t magically make my brain stop pounding the same question over and over in my head until I start sobbing.
RFK is the single biggest threat to America right now and it’s fucking devastating. The fact he’ll never see repercussions for his actions mar this even worse.
I STILL need my anti-anxiety meds or else I spiral on the smallest shit.
Maybe you just need to eat more beef tallow fries or a fuck ton of unnecessary protein? /s
Just think about how much innocent blood they can sacrifice to Satan tho.
Just like their antivaxx stance, or their anti-abortion stance, or their etc.
The “killing a lot of people” part is deliberate.
It’s like everyone forgot when they literally said they were planning to get the US population “down to a more manageable number”.
RFK is kind of (“kind of” doing a lot of work here) like the guy we need if we didn’t live in a capitalist dystopia.
Like, if we had a a socialist revolution it would be really good to rethink and re-evaluate the use of anti depression medication, adhd medication, etc.
I do think a lot of these medications are over prescribed to deal with the alienation people feel. The “problem” for people with ADHD (myself) having to be forced into a specific task/job that eventually becomes impossible to repeat.
Or actually addressing the material conditions of someone’s life that lead to depression. Like, a gambling addiction is the most likely addiction to lead to suicide. There is clearly more to “depression” than a chemical problem in ones brain. The answer now is “take this pill and get back to work.”
Like, I know he’s a dumb ass. But I can understand why he has a general appeal to a population that is frustrated with the use of medication in our society.
The problems of depression, on the scale we have in the west, are primarily related to these issues of alienation that are a fundamental part of capitalist modes of production. On top of a feeling of isolation as we spend our free time either mindlessly scrolling; or worse, watching the genocides and wars our country enacts.
As someone with ADHD who is in a great job and able to walk & bus to work, working about 30 hours a week on a great salary, with a wife and girlfriend, able to have many hobbies, I got depression last year. Started an SSRI, and it actually fixed whatever chemical funkiness is in my brain. Sure, it could’ve been dopamine burnout, or drinking beer casually as a hobby (living next to a dozen breweries), but it was 95% a chemical issue. I have the energy I had in my mid 20’s. And ADHD meds help me actually focus on what I want to focus on. For me, it’s all a chemical imbalance, not because of my living situation or whatever.
Sometimes it is just chemical, and we need to accept that.
AKA insanity is a sane reaction to an insane world.
Honestly, I meant to add that quote to my comment. But, ya know, ADHD. If I could write out my thoughts without writing a book I would be unstoppable.
Same, but if I could actually write the book I’d be unstoppable.
Mood.
I stopped myself from writing a whole essay expressing my sympathy and experience with that specific struggle. I managed to condense it down to one word and one paragraph.
