I am writing to you as a deeply concerned citizen and mental health professional regarding Robert Kennedy Jr.’s ongoing attack on mental health medications, including his purported ban on SSRIs, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotic medications. His dangerous rhetoric and blatant misinformation threaten the well-being of millions of Americans who rely on these treatments to manage conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
His proposed policies would effectively strip individuals of life-saving medications that have been rigorously tested and approved by the FDA. The ban on these essential medications disregards medical research and the expertise of mental health professionals, leaving millions vulnerable to severe mental health crises, hospitalizations, and increased suicide rates. His deliberate spread of misinformation is not only irresponsible but also endangers lives by discouraging people from seeking critical treatment.
The fight for mental health awareness and access to treatment is too important to allow such dangerous rhetoric and harmful policies to go unchallenged. I implore you to take swift and decisive action to protect the millions of Americans who depend on these medications for their well-being and to uphold the integrity of our government.
Please let me know how your office intends to address these pressing issues. I appreciate your time and your commitment to serving the American people
