I know someone who tried to get off antidepressants and absolutely could not. Their life was a wreck after 20 years on them and trying to get off them. I suspect banning medication that millions use won’t go over well.

Broadly and arbitrarily undermining access to antidepressants is and would be mass murder.

This is interesting. CMS final rule for 2027 includes mandatory screening and plan for patients 12+ that are perceived to have depression. Now they want to ban some antidepressants. What’s the goal?

Goal is to fuck people over or create slave labor like work camps to replace cheap labor lost from their desire to eliminate immigrants

How does that play out though? Somebody is flagged for depression. Then what?

If I run out of reasons to live for because my meds were taken away, I might have to decide which cabinet to take with me.
