HHS Secretary Kennedy Targets Psychiatric Drug Links to Violence
February 24, 2025
Newly confirmed Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy, Jr., has been assigned the chair of the newly established Make America Healthy Again Commission and, apparently, antidepressants will finally get a much-needed review.
Specifically, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) long have been the antidepressant “treatment” of choice for numerous alleged mental disorders. That’s right…” alleged.” Let’s just get it straight at the beginning so there’s no mistake about what is and is not being “treated.”
There is no science to support any objective, confirmable abnormality, that is any psychiatric diagnosis. That does not mean that people do not experience depression, anxiety, high and lows, etc. It simply means that psychiatric diagnosing is completely subjective, making it difficult, if not impossible, to realistically “treat” a non-existing abnormality. What is being “treated” is a behavior, which is exactly what psychiatry studies…behaviors. Neurologists, not psychiatrists, study diseases (abnormalities) of the brain.
