Investigation into Antidepressants
A major focus is placed on the potential reevaluation of psychiatric drugs, particularly antidepressants. With RFK Jr. confirmed as the HHS secretary, there is hope for an investigation into the prescribing practices surrounding these medications, including SSRIs, which have seen dramatic increases in usage.
