WASHINGTON, D.C. — Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., announced Monday a plan to stop psychiatric doctors from overprescribing medications to patients who do not need them.

Speaking at the MAHA Institute’s Mental Health and Overmedicalization Summit in the nation’s capital, Kennedy laid out some dire data showing an enormous amount of Americans — of all age groups — on one or more psychiatric medications, ostensibly in order to “treat” underlying mental health conditions.

Multiple panels at the summit made clear that there is very little underlying evidence to suggest these drugs — like commonplace Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) or benzodiazepines — do much of what they promise, particularly in the long-term, and that there are massive monetary incentives for keeping patients perpetually medicated.

However, Kennedy announced a new Dear Colleague Letter from HHS that will begin a plan to start paying doctors to pursue off-ramps for these medications that have run rampant.
