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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
