There's a lot of reports in this thread specifically around the "lazy doctors" and "it's just stress" prescriptions.

This is where reddit would lock the thread and go "too much trouble to moderate." That's never been my personal policy.

But here's the thing... "Lazy" may not be technically correct, but it's been proven over and over again that if you are a woman or a minority or other marginalized group, medical professionals often are not listening to you.

"Why is everyone so depressed?" - A man who inherited millions of dollars from his famous family.

i love the tough talk from all the edgelords saying "yeah wait until you take mine away then i'll be a real problem for you" -- lol they'll just lobotomize you. y'all have no idea what healthcare was like before anti-depressants, huh? you don't get a choice what happens to you after you act out ONCE in public. sure, talk your smack, it feels good... but, personally? i'm scared. my grandma used to get shocks, and that's when we actually had asylums... now we don't. pretty scary stuff, ngl. not enough room in jails for all of us... they'll find other solutions.

Ssris is not something you want to rip away from people.

This is going to be a mistake that ends in violence.

More proof that the inmates have taken over the asylum.

Kennedy said he planned to dedicate money generated from a sales tax on cannabis products to “creating wellness farms—drug rehabilitation farms, in rural areas all over this country.” He added, “I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall, and to spend time as much time as they need—three or four years if they need it—to learn to get reparented, to reconnect with communities.” The farm residents would grow their own organic food because, he suggested, many of their underlying problems could be “food-related.”

Hol up. They've gotten rid of all the people who used to pick fruit in rural areas, and now they want to send arbitrarily diagnosed "addicts" to these rural areas to live for "free".

How many people, taking antidepressants, are gun owners? Yep, shits gonna go down in bad way.

Do that shit. Take em away.

It won't take long before someone reminds you why they're important. Postal style.

The worms have won. Pretty soon we will all have worms injected into our head.

Forced labor farms for those deemed mentally unfit for society. That’s his solution. Fuck that, fuck him, and fuck the fascist slavery fetish.

Go ahead and take mine away. See what happens. I dare you.

RFK is one of those assholes who was depressed, changed his diet and worked out, and that was enough. And he thinks that solution works for everyone. And now he has power.

Fuck anyone that takes my SSRIs away from me. That would actually make me leave the country.

Creating an environment of corruption, chaos, hate and suffering. Hurting the majority of people economically, and ripping away hope for the future. Cutting programs that safeguard people, and specifically targeting their access to healthcare. And taking away the medications that help people deal with mental illness.

Sounds like a recipe for causing people to become desperate and decide they have nothing to lose.

If he tries to ban meds, big pharma will absolutely fucking pulverise him.
