RFK Jr. Just Compared SSRI Withdrawal to Heroin Withdrawal—And the Mental Health Industry Lost Its Mind For years, people coming off antidepressants have been gaslit, dismissed, and left to suffer in silence—told their withdrawal symptoms were just their “mental illness coming back.” Now, a new study in the Journal of Affective Disorders Reports blows the lid off the truth: SSRI withdrawal can be devastating, long-lasting, and life-altering. 80% of people reported withdrawal severely disrupted their work, relationships, and daily life. 40% suffered symptoms for over two years. 25% couldn’t quit at all because the withdrawal was too brutal. But when RFK Jr. compared SSRI withdrawal to heroin withdrawal, the mental health establishment lost its shit. Instead of listening to the thousands of people suffering, psychiatry rushed to defend its golden child: antidepressants. For decades, psychiatry and the government—whose pockets have been lined by Big Pharma—have downplayed withdrawal, called it “mild,” and pressured people back on meds when they tried to quit. Now that the truth is getting mainstream attention, they’re in full damage-control mode. Antidepressant withdrawal is real. The suffering is real. And the gaslighting needs to end. #SSRIwithdrawal #Gaslighting #MentalHealthAwareness #EndTheStigma #PsychiatryExposed #HeroinWithdrawal #AntidepressantTruth #BigPharma #WakeUp #MentalHealthRevolution #rfkjr @Jenn @thatfunctionalnurse

Addiction vs. Dependence: The DSM Shift and the RFK Jr. Controversy The DSM no longer uses the terms addiction or dependence, opting instead for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) to reflect a spectrum of severity. While dependence refers to physical withdrawal symptoms, addiction involves compulsive use despite harm—yet the lines are often blurred. Now, this medical distinction is at the center of political controversy. RFK Jr. recently stated that SSRI withdrawal is worse than heroin withdrawal, sparking outrage—not because of the claim itself, but because he used the word addiction. Critics argue that antidepressants aren’t addictive in the same way as opioids, while others point out that withdrawal symptoms from SSRIs can be severe and prolonged. The reaction reveals a deeper issue: society’s discomfort with acknowledging the full impact of psychiatric medications. Whether or not SSRIs fit the traditional definition of addiction, dismissing withdrawal experiences only fuels mistrust in the system. So, is the outrage about science—or about protecting certain narratives? #Addiction #Dependence #SSRIWithdrawal #MentalHealth #BigPharma #Psychiatry #RFKJr #DSM5 #PharmaNarratives #SSRITruth #WithdrawalAwareness #rfk #rfkjr

#stitch with @Austin People Don’t Fail SSRIs—SSRIs Fail People Too often, when someone struggles with an SSRI, they’re told they "failed the medication" instead of acknowledging that the medication failed them. The reality? Research shows that SSRIs have only a 25-30% success rate, with many studies finding they barely outperform placebos. The STAR*D trial (2006)—one of the largest antidepressant studies—found that only 27.5% of patients achieved remission after the first SSRI. A meta-analysis in PLoS Medicine (Kirsch et al., 2008) revealed that SSRIs are often no more effective than placebo for mild-to-moderate depression. The Lancet (Cipriani et al., 2018) found that while SSRIs were statistically better than placebo, their real-world impact was minimal. Despite these findings, SSRIs remain the go-to treatment, while root causes like nutrition, trauma, stress, and hormonal imbalances are often ignored. Mental health care should be about true informed consent and a range of options—not just one-size-fits-all prescriptions. It’s time to shift the conversation.

#duet with @Jenn #greenscreen The Truth About SSRI Withdrawal: It’s Not a “Return of Symptoms” We need to have a brutally honest conversation about SSRI withdrawal. For too long, people suffering through it have been dismissed, gaslit, and told their agony is just a "return of depression or anxiety." This narrative is not only false—it’s dangerous. SSRI withdrawal is real. It can be devastating. And it is not just your original symptoms coming back. Many experience akathisia—a relentless, internal restlessness that makes it impossible to sit still, sleep, or even think clearly. It is pure mental and physical torture. Others face intense unaliving thoughts, not because they are “relapsing,” but because their nervous system is in chaos, trying to recalibrate after years of altered serotonin function. Doctors too often dismiss these withdrawal effects, leaving patients stranded in unimaginable suffering. But here’s the truth: SSRI withdrawal symptoms can be worse than the initial condition the meds were prescribed for. Many people who never had unaliving thoughts before experience them only during withdrawal. Akathisia is not depression or anxiety. It is a medication-induced nightmare that can push people to the brink. If you or someone you love is struggling through this, know this: You are not broken. You are not “mentally ill.” You are experiencing the effects of a drug your body became dependent on, and you deserve support, not dismissal. It’s time to end the lie that withdrawal is just a “return of symptoms.” It’s time to demand informed consent, proper tapering protocols, and medical acknowledgment of the suffering so many endure. If you’re withdrawing, you’re not alone. And you deserve to be heard. #SSRIWithdrawal #Akathisia #PsychMedWithdrawal #InformedConsent #MentalHealthTruth #AntidepressantWithdrawal #HealingJourney #YouAreNotAlone #StopTheGaslighting #MedicalAccountability

🧠✨ Mental illness is NOT in your genes! ✨🧠 For years, we were told that mental illness is genetic—but science tells a different story. According to NIH studies, genes account for only 1-2% of mental illness cases. The real culprits? Epigenetics—how your environment, trauma, toxins, diet, stress, and gut health turn genes on or off. That means your mental health isn’t written in stone—it’s shaped by your life experiences and the world around you. 🌎💡 As an MD turned holistic doctor, I once believed the genetic myth, too. But then I woke up. I saw firsthand how healing the root cause—not just managing symptoms—creates real, lasting change. That’s what we do at Free Range: a holistic, root-cause approach to mental health.
