Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. said the National Institutes of Health is beginning studies to determine if a link exists between psychiatric medications, such as SSRIs, and violent attacks.

Kennedy's announcement on Fox & Friends comes following a Minnesota Catholic school shooting on Wednesday at the hands of 23-year-old Robin Westman, who transitioned into living life as a woman. In their manifesto, Westman described having struggled with depression for years and also believing they had terminal cancer caused by vaping.

Analysis of the body of research centered on the link between violence and SSRIs by Dr. Ronald Pies and Dr. James Knoll IV, both psychiatry professors at SUNY Upstate Medical University, reveals that the evidence does not support a link causal relationship.

"In weighing the existing evidence, we do not feel that a direct connection between antidepressants and violence has been reliably established," the professors wrote. "Beyond just the findings we've presented, consider the fact that about 13% of the total US population has been exposed to antidepressants.

The Republicans ignore any research that does not support their rhetoric! ABC News reported that,

Psychiatrists and obesity experts tell ABC News that Kennedy and the Trump administration may be missing some context in how antidepressants -- and other drugs used to treat mental health conditions – and obesity medications are prescribed.

These experts -- along with the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association -- have said these medications are safe and effective and are usually coupled with other forms of treatment. They also state that each patient should consult with their physician before taking any prescribed medications.

Hey, but the quack sees it differently! You can't trust the data... the data is all wrong... they don't know what they are talking about... only RFK Jr. knows the truth!
