    Ssris is not something you want to rip away from people.

    This is going to be a mistake that ends in violence.

    Don’t get your panties in a wad, your Linux might crash. Why don’t you paint yourself orange and put on a blond wig? Sounds like your already dead if it happens so what do you have to lose?

    There’s a lot of reports in this thread specifically around the “lazy doctors” and “it’s just stress” prescriptions.

    This is where reddit would lock the thread and go “too much trouble to moderate.” That’s never been my personal policy.

    But here’s the thing… “Lazy” may not be technically correct, but it’s been proven over and over again that if you are a woman or a minority or other marginalized group, medical professionals often are not listening to you.

        I don’t think that’s the point. They need a new labor force in these rural areas because they just deported the last one.

      Translation: Prison farms people are forced to go to because someone says they have a problem. This will also help with all the migrant crackdowns because who is going to grow and harvest our food.

      Seriously though, after deinstitutionalization we were supposed to build a bunch of community health centers to help people. That never happened, but it should have. This is some perversion of that stolen idea designed to enrich the wealthy.

      I wondered how they planned on keeping the farms going without immigrants. Anyone who has a problem can be put in “wellness farms”. Awesome.

      I had someone steal my SSRIs before. I hope they’re happy.

      Jk, but they work more for anxiety than depression for me too. If I stop taking them then I’m going to fall back on Xanax

      I couldn’t agree more. Forced labor camps for the citizenry is totally ok, but you don’t just fuck with the bag. Eli Lilly, Astra Zeneca, Pfizer & friends won’t allow even the restriction of SSRIs, let alone the banning. Worst case scenario, they get “forced” to increase the price.

      Too much money involved for that.

      Pharma has an open left leaning culture but once you get to executive leadership and the board the only thing that matters is sales. The bribers (aka lobbyists) will work with anyone.

      You can bet your ass there is more chance of the FDA getting disbanded than drugs having prices regulated or simply being banned from sale. I’m expecting the biden price negotiations for medicare and medicaid to go away so the pharmas can milk us even more with their exclusive monopolies for the first decade or so of sales.

        From what I can tell, the most widely used antidepressants are long off patent and pretty cheap as generics. That’s why insurance companies want doctors to prescribe them instead of sending you to expensive therapy. Overprescribing antidepressants in that sense is more like overprescribing aspirin. Medically unnecessary, maybe even potentially harmful? Maybe. But, the stuff is too cheap for Big Pharma to be doing it purely for the money. That’s what opiods were for ;).

    Suicide rates are going to spike if this idiot gets his way. I may well be one of the statistics before it’s over, if he takes away my access to medicine that has enabled me to live a somewhat normal life, not that it’ll matter to him or his ilk. The cruelty, as the kids like to say, is the point, I guess.

      Please remember, when the meds are gone and life is still going on, when they’re threatening to put us in camps, remember… once you’re in a camp with other like-minded people who have been wronged, what ‘fun’ we can have together. That’s what will keep me going.

    Creating an environment of corruption, chaos, hate and suffering. Hurting the majority of people economically, and ripping away hope for the future. Cutting programs that safeguard people, and specifically targeting their access to healthcare. And taking away the medications that help people deal with mental illness.

    Sounds like a recipe for causing people to become desperate and decide they have nothing to lose.

      Ding ding ding! Make no mistake about it… the penultimate goal of the first six months of project 2025 is the suspension of habeus corpus and the deployment of US Military as civilian police. They need a riot to justify that last power grab. When you understand that fact, you can see the common thread in all of the random cruelty out of the gate. It’s not called project 2026.

    i love the tough talk from all the edgelords saying “yeah wait until you take mine away then i’ll be a real problem for you” – lol they’ll just lobotomize you. y’all have no idea what healthcare was like before anti-depressants, huh? you don’t get a choice what happens to you after you act out ONCE in public. sure, talk your smack, it feels good… but, personally? i’m scared. my grandma used to get shocks, and that’s when we actually had asylums… now we don’t. pretty scary stuff, ngl. not enough room in jails for all of us… they’ll find other solutions.

      I grew up autistic and had adhd and an anxiety disorder when most people had no idea what those were. My autism wasn’t that bad… but the way how people treated it they acted like I was less than human.

      This is of course not real. Acting out in public once may get you punched or a disorderly conduct charge but it is unlikely to enable anyone to lock you up let alone star in a remake of one flew over the cukoos nest because a lot of law and case law has happened since.

          Police have literally millions of interactions with people acting erratically per year in the US. All of Europe has millions of interactions per year.

          Our police are defective not because they literally massacre every person acting erratically but because between near a million sworn officers dealing with 100s of millions of people roughly a thousand kill someone this year. This is defective because others deal with similar situations whilst killing almost none.

          Setting up a fantasy world where a single interaction is sure to lead to fatality is bad because its trivially disproved and the dismissal risks dismissing the ACTUAL problem of those thousand poor fuckers who died many for no good reason.

      Yeah my great grandpa was in and out of the institution for anxiety and it was a miracle he kept his brain in one piece.

      Antidepressants have problems. They’re often treated as the first thing to throw at someone who has mental issues regardless of whether or not they’re warranted (back in the day it was a common story for trans people to get prescribed antidepressants instead of hormones and have to wade through the Dr’s crap), but the modern system in which people with mental illnesses are given medication that’s peer reviewed and have some degree of autonomy over treatment is worth all this.

      As an aside, electro convulsive shock therapy is still done. It’s weirdly been proven useful for the treatment of some disorders. But as far as I know, it’s now done with full consent.

      But now, as back then, no one really truly understands the full mechanism that causes it to suppress symptoms.
