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.
"Well, have you tried not being sad?"

Being rich also doesn’t hurt
His brain was eaten by worm, isn’t that how his depression got cured?
I hate to say it, but you probably can’t. People with diagnosed mental illnesses are often banned by other countries from immigrating.
The only thing that worked out for him was being rich. Everything else is just an excuse/wishful thinking at best and a lie to be used to manipulate others at worst.
Forced labor farms for those deemed mentally unfit for society. That’s his solution. Fuck that, fuck him, and fuck the fascist slavery fetish.
Wait? Did he really say that?
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.
These people never learned why and how Caucescu got what he got. Can't wait for them to learn first hand!
Putin's nightmare about Gaddafi. Benito Mussolini displayed in the street. Ceaușescu's last moment on video.
Team Luigi needs more branding.
I hope to god everyone on antidepressants isn’t about to go through what people with ADHD have been going through for medication access. Ridiculous hoops to jump through, short term prescriptions, doctors treating you like a criminal, and medication shortages have made life miserable for so many people.
You mean it's like this in the USA? I'll admit I thought it's some heaven for ADHD people over the ocean with everyone getting amphetamines
I could save them a lot of time and energy, here's all the solutions to things they're "studying".
Agreed on all of it but the WFH point. WFH has helped a ton of people. It's also a net benefit for the environment, human health, financial relief and mental health. Anyone telling you they work better in a office with a 2 hour daily commute in traffic is either middle management or C level. No one wants that shit.
I work out a lot more and eat healthier when I'm WFH. Doesn't come close.
I read the comment as saying return to the office was leading to sedentary behaviors - which I would believe. My commute is 45 minutes each way in ideal traffic - that's an additional hour and a half of just sitting for days I have to go into the office compared to my work from home days.
Work isn't great community, WFH + in person local activities is much better.
WFH has helped a ton of people.
Could not agree more. Most especially if you have toxic management.
It's so much worse with those kind of people in-person. With remote work you can at least not bump into them in the bathroom/kitchen/hallway, etc., you don't have the time-and-morale-killing "pop-in", you can leave your camera off, turn off incoming video, skip non-essential meetings, etc...it really lowers the impact of having to work with someone you don't like very much and is part of management...
According to the article RFK wants to find the “root causes” of a broad range of conditions, including autism, ADHD, asthma, obesity, multiple sclerosis, and psoriasis. Sure thing, while the his fellow fucking MAGAts shut down and destroy US medical research and increase deregulations pertaining to the food industry and pollution.
Republicans finding the major contributors to those conditions is going to be like that scroll of truth comic. They'll only care if it turns out that the root cause is gay people existing or people being in unions or something (spoiler alert: it isn't, but that won't stop them).
This from the same people who told you to inject disinfectant and are actively distancing themselves from international medical consensus.
I will pry my SSRIs from your cold, dead hands.
“When government researchers follow Kennedy’s orders to study SSRIs, they’ll find reams of research, including long-term studies, that have found that the drugs are safe and non-addictive.“
Then they will ignore science and do whatever the administration tells them to or they get fired and replaced with someone who will.
They disparagingly refer to it as "the cult of 'science'" so that's a foregone conclusion. Complex issues as interpreted by people whose only ideology is "fuck all that pansy ass shit, man up!!!"
You know, people off their meds don't make good choices...
So I'm hearing you say this could be a self-solving problem?
I mean...the trump dictatorship are most likely all on drugs to begin with.
And anti-psychotic medication too.
Does he want a bunch of undiagnosed schizophrenic people coming after him and his fellow maga stooges? Because this is how he gets a bunch of undiagnosed schizophrenic people coming after him.
Oh jeez, he's talking camps... 
Translation: Prison farms people are forced to go to because someone says they have a problem. This will also help with all the migrant crackdowns because who is going to grow and harvest our food.
Seriously though, after deinstitutionalization we were supposed to build a bunch of community health centers to help people. That never happened, but it should have. This is some perversion of that stolen idea designed to enrich the wealthy.
This is super cool because my life would fall apart without antidepressants. Can’t wait to suffer more.
From a guy that looks like he could really use them.
The inmates are now running the asylum.
Keep taking away reasons for people to live. I'm sure millions of desperate, voiceless victims with nothing left to lose will not backfire for the people in charge at all.
How many people, taking antidepressants, are gun owners? Yep, shits gonna go down in bad way.
According to https://gunviolencearchive.org over 50% of every gun death in the USA each year is from suicide. More than half. Nobody gives a shit because while the numbers are staggering, they're not kids in school or people in a theater, mall, or grocery store. They're still dead though.
Gun ranges won't let you rent a gun unless you: 1) Have someone with you 2) Have another gun with you (and clearly you just want to rent their gun to try out a different gun) because they're afraid (almost certainly through experience) that you'll kill yourself.
This nation not only doesn't give a shit, it gives even less of a shit now as seen in this article.
Dude if they take away my SSRIs I'm gonna be so anxious about it.
More proof that the inmates have taken over the asylum.
Suicide rates are going to spike if this idiot gets his way. I may well be one of the statistics before it's over, if he takes away my access to medicine that has enabled me to live a somewhat normal life, not that it'll matter to him or his ilk. The cruelty, as the kids like to say, is the point, I guess.
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.
