SSRIs aren’t dead

They’re just misused

They’re often weak antidepressants,
but can be excellent for severe anxiety disorders

“But for others, closer physical health monitoring may be warranted," Dr. #Pillinger adds.

Is the U.S. Government Going To Take Away Your Antidepressants? Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services, clearly does not like SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), the most popular form of antidepressant on the market. They’re used by millions of Americans on a daily basis. He has tried to tie SSRIs to school shooters despite a lack of evidence to that effect. He has suggested that it’s harder to go off SSRIs than it is to quit heroin. It’s not. Molly Olmstead, a reporter for Slate who has been covering this story closely, says that this does not mean that the government is about to try to ban SSRIs and leave patients without the medicines that may be keeping them alive. But she explains that yes, we are in the midst of a very active anti-SSRI PR campaign by Kennedy and his supporters in the so-called Make America Healthy Again movement and that campaign could presage a much more aggressive set of actions.

Dissemination of Information on Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors on TikTok: Analytical Mixed Methods Study of Creator Types, Content Tone, and User Engagement Background: TikTok is a significant source of #MentalHealth-related content, including discussions on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). While the #App fosters community building, its algorithm also amplifies misinformation as influencers without relevant expertise often dominate conversations about SSRIs. These videos frequently highlight personal experiences, potentially overshadowing evidence-based information from healthcare professionals. Despite these concerns, TikTok holds potential as a tool for improving #MentalHealth literacy when used by professionals to provide credible information. Objective: This study examines TikTok videos on SSRIs, hypothesizing that content will predominantly emphasize negative experiences and that videos by non-medical professionals will attract higher engagement. By analyzing creators, engagement metrics, content tone, and video tone, this study aims to shed light on #SocialMedia #SoMe #hcsm’s role in shaping perceptions of SSRIs and #MentalHealth literacy. Methods: A sample of 99 TikTok videos was collected on December 8, 2024. Apify, a web scraper, compiled pertinent engagement metrics (URLs, likes, comments, and shares). Views were manually recorded. Three researchers evaluated video and content tones and documented findings in Qualtrics. User profiles were analyzed to classify creators as a “medical professional” or “non-medical professional” based on verification of their credentialing. Statistical analyses evaluated the hypotheses. Results: The number of videos created by both non-medical and medical professionals was roughly even. #Approximately one third (35%) mentioned a specific SSRI (i.e. fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, vilazodone, sertraline, paroxetine, citalopram, or escitalopram). Compared to medical professionals, non-medical creators produced significantly more videos with a positive video tone (P
