RFK Jr targets Zoloft and Prozac in latest MAHA push to kick America's drug habit [View all]
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is targeting antidepressants — including popular medications like Zoloft and Prozac — in his latest push to reduce Americans’ dependence on prescription drugs.
On Monday, the department announced a series of changes aimed at encouraging health care providers to help patients taper off drugs and consider nonpharmaceutical alternatives.
“Today, we take clear and decisive action to confront our nation’s mental health crisis by addressing the overuse of psychiatric medications — especially among children,” Kennedy, a longtime skeptic of psychiatric drugs, said in a press release.
In a Dear Colleague Letter, the department urged physicians to make informed consent a priority and to routinely review the risks and benefits of psychiatric medications with patients. The letter also emphasizes nonmedication approaches, including psychotherapy, nutrition, physical activity and family support.
