This is a completely tone-deaf post from the White House Press Secretary. It seems like she just copied a news headline and forgot that most American voters aren't major shareholders in pharmaceutical companies.

Tyler Black when he hears a PSSD sufferer in her twenties talk about her personal experience of being harmed by SSRIs.

🧵 As Lauren Friedman (@lololizzle) so powerfully describes here in her recent testimony, psychiatric drugs can strip away “the most central, intoxicating, worthwhile, and fulfilling parts of the human experience.”
She was speaking at the May 4 MAHA summit about her experience of Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD)—a condition that can emerge or persist after stopping psychiatric drugs, particularly those that act on serotonin such as SSRIs and SNRIs.
For those affected, this involves not only the loss of sexual function, but a profound emotional numbness. For Lauren, it means a loss of feeling love for her own mother, a loss of connection with friends and loss of pleasure in music and songwriting.
We know many of you have had similar experiences even while still taking antidepressants—and these adverse effects are among the most frequently cited reasons people choose to stop these drugs (source below).
Some of you reading this may well be tapering right now because of these effects. We'd love to hear from you:
How did psychiatric drugs affect your relationships with family, friends, or partners?
How did it affect your ability to love and to feel loved—something so deeply human?
Your experiences really do matter. Sharing them helps others feel less alone and better informed as they consider their options. (1/3)

Big Tobacco never stops reinventing addiction.
Yesterday cigarettes.
Today nicotine pouches with mint flavours, slick packaging and influencer marketing aimed at teenagers.
WHO’s warning is serious. By the time society realises the harm, another generation may already be hooked.

He didn’t notice any positive benefits from taking antidepressants but suffered withdrawal symptoms after missing them for a few days. Somehow he thinks that’s a good thing
Stanford psychiatry professor Michael Ostacher completely denies the existence of PSSD. He doesn't think that psychiatry journals should publish articles about it. He has also taken money from several pharmaceutical companies. Yet he accuses @joannamoncrieff of being dishonest.
The one giant exception to this rule is PSSD. On several occasions, Adam has dismissed the lived experiences of PSSD sufferers and accused them of pill shaming. He also stated that if he personally got PSSD, it wouldn’t affect him at all.

It seems that Wendy Burn is experiencing strong cognitive dissonance. She does not believe she bears any responsibility for British patients killed under her watch, yet she knows exactly where to point the finger for a death that occurred on the other side of the world.
So ridiculous. Adam must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Adam, Chill!

In other words, the drugs don’t work, even for conditions that psychiatrists label as serious mental illness (SMI).
Didn’t psychiatry push a bullshit agenda and groom the public into believing it?
Think iatrogenically!

Do you remember when Adam Fare tweeted about people sexually pleasuring themselves with holes in fences? This video might prove him right. It turns out that fence shagging might be a phenomenon in parts of Asia where they have bamboo fences.

Former president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists Wendy Burn retweeted this! The same Wendy Burn who has a hissy fit every time PSSD sufferers tell her she covered up permanent iatrogenic harm.
You supported the UNDISCLOSED castration of children. Fuck you, Wendy Burn!
Where are the lions safer than the men?
If @elonmusk or @MattWalshBlog had written this, Adam would join the pile-on of woke people labeling them as racist.

You don’t say!
- India Willoughby is a woman.
- A chemical imbalance causes a biological condition called ADHD.
- Some asexuals are hypersexual, but only want to shag fences.
Look at Adam’s lack of empathy towards a British detransitioner. He thinks Shamima Begum should be let back into the UK, because she was groomed as a child and therefore not responsible for her decisions. And then there Adam’s dismissal of PSSD sufferers who didn’t even CONSENT.
