Staff selection: RFK Jr. directs your attention to antidepressants
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has amplified false statements about selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, an antidepressant class that includes Lexapro, Prozac and Zoloft. He has suggested, without evidence, that drugs are linked to violent behavior and addiction and said that some people have more difficulty “getting out of the NSSs than people who have heroin.” Kennedy has also pointed out some concerns that doctors share, such as prescribing SSRs to patients for whom the therapy would be more effective.
