1/6 "At the age of 16, I was prescribed Lexapro (escitalopram) for anxiety.
My anxiety was not severe at all, however, my doctor told me that it would be good for me to take it anyway."

2/6 "I initially took it for 6 months. When I wanted to stop, I experienced horrible depressive episodes that I had never had before. I was also having cognitive issues."
Fascism has three main hallmarks according to Stanley G Payne's definition;
1. Fascist negations - being anti-something. Anti-#abortions, anti-#liberal, anti-#LGBT, anti-#communist, anti-#SSRI, anti-#women, etc.

2. Fascist goals - wants a nationalist dictatorship and regulate the economy. Pretty obvious both here an abroad.
Trump tried, and the GOP is still at it.
Pierre Poilievre's CPC is showing hallmarks of totalitarianism in their party with attacks like the one on Brown.

3. Fascist style - it carries with it a populist aesthetic that romanticizes something.
Is it guns, racism, political leaders, the 'good old days'?
Why not all 3?

Gruppens namn "Antidepressiva läkemedel" är ganska missvisande eftersom en annan mycket vanlig indikation för dem är ångestsyndrom (ofta i o f s kopplade). Men de används också vid en rad andra tillstånd t ex nervsmärta om än i mindre utsträckning.

1/4 I started advocacy work years ago after my teen was #prescribedharm & died an avoidable, #akathisia-induced death. Initially, I thought prescribers, medical & #suicide organizations needed to be made aware that prescribed harm & iatrogenic "suicides" are not rare occurrences.
2/4 Soon I learned that most of these organizations & prescribers already knew they were promoting & prescribing harm & death. Trusting consumers who took the pill-pushers' products didn't know they were taking part in a Russian Roulette game, but many of the drug pushers knew.
3/4 Research about #akathisia-induced violence & #iatrogenic death has been available for decades. @DrDavidHealy's work was well known among prescribers, particularly #psychiatrists, long ago. Ditto for the #SSRI clinical trial deaths, mounting body bags & wrongful death cases.
