Summary
RFK Jr. has set his sights on antidepressants — and we're not stoked about it. In this episode, Kaveh is joined by Dr. Tyler Black, psychiatrist and suicidologist, and Melody Schreiber, award-winning healthcare journalist, to break down the federal push to curb SSRI prescribing and what it really means for patients. They cover: What "deprescribing" actually means — and who it will harm most The racist history of "reparenting" and why RFK Jr.'s use of the term matters Whether SSRIs are truly linked to violence and school shootings Are antidepressants really "harder to quit than heroin"? The statin wars, cholesterol misinformation, and the wellness-to-conspiracy pipeline What good deprescribing actually looks like when done by a real clinician 🎙️ Enjoyed the episode?
