From: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/05/antidepressants-rfk-jr-maha
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".
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
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.
You didn't hear? He added lead paint to the food pyramid.
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.
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 teach & learn & share & barter
THAT'S COMMUNISM
Nah, it's utopia.
The only reason Utopia doesn't work is because there have always been dishonest greedy manipulative scamsters among us who ruin everything for the honest good people. So part of my Utopian vision is that those dark energy people will be identified then sexually sterilized then launched on a one-way trip to Mars where they can live out the rest of their lives of greed & manipulation & lies among their own like-minded scamsters.
I read that to mean, sadly: "Utopia doesn't work because it is contrary to human nature."
Unfortunately, yes, our brains are still wired almost exactly how they were when we were hunter-gatherers; we just stuff it with more knowledge now.
Back then, sure, greed was a necessary survival instinct to have food over the winters, and hand-outs were risky.
We haven't adapted to the modern world, and the abundance available to us.
I'm on antipsychotics. Good luck everyone, and gobless
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.
Republican plan (add water):
Sorry, water is only for the AI data centers of their billionaire friends and donors.

Ew, Dasani?

7 jobs? Where?!
They're all in government. Plus you have to relocate to D.C. and you'll be paid below market rate.
Fridays are casual, and you get barebones healthcare. Why does no one want to work anymore
