• The pharmaceutical industry has perfected this model: drugs are designed to be taken perpetually rather than cure, side effects create demand for additional drugs, and the entire regulatory apparatus is structured to suppress affordable natural therapies that challenge it
  • SSRIs epitomize this dynamic — massively overprescribed, frequently life-ruining, and nearly impossible to withdraw from — yet for decades, the industry successfully kept all criticism of them out of mainstream discourse
  • Kennedy announced a multiagency federal effort to combat inappropriate SSRI prescribing, train providers in how to correctly taper patients off antidepressants, and provide non-pharmaceutical alternatives
  • This marks the first time in memory a federal health initiative has aimed to help get patients off a major drug class rather than on one
