    The idea that you can’t just step down off an SSRI as if it’s a heroin addiction is fucking ludicrous.

        Virtually every bullshit medical claim RFK Jr. makes can easily be verified to be bullshit.

        And he just outright lies all the time too. I heard a radio interview with him where he claimed he had hundreds of clients with golf ball-sized tumors behind their ears from using cell phones. You know how you see all those people walking around with golf ball-sized tumors behind their ears?

          I think any definition of “addiction” that includes SSRIs is so vague and general that it’s unhelpful.

          There aren’t many things that people do that wouldn’t cause a measurable withdrawal if discontinued.
