The way the article is worded it makes it seem like ALL psych medicine is bad, which is the mo of the right, get people off the meds that make them stable and into RFK Jr’s “wellness farms”.
You can’t just say “yeah I fucked up taking benzos recreationally for years and now I’m paying the price”.
Wait a second HIS WIFE IS ALIVE?!?!?! I thought he got on the benzos because she died. But it was just the diagnosis that sent him spiraling? lmao. Did have any hardships in his life? Also, was he ever on SSRIs? Because I think that would be the first medication for an otherwise healthy person that’s not adjusting well to a life event like that. Maybe he was scared of ssris and only trusts medicine if it was available in the 70s.
He got on benzos because she had cancer and that was taking attention away from him.
If I remember his deep lore, he got on an all meat diet and attributes that to panic attacks for which he was prescribed or found someone to get him on, presumably, Ativan. He says he had severe autoimmune response to all meat and drinking cider (he said if he drank cider hed be insomnic for days and days). Anyway, he only started the carnivore only diet thing because his daughter told him to. The same daughter that told him not to listen to his Canadian doctors recommending a benzo taper when he was interested and ready to come off of them, and to instead seek a medically induced coma to skip the frankly shitty feelings of withdrawing and have the taper done I guess without his conscious awareness. So they went to Serbia or Russia and of course its not without risks to do that, so his coma was very long.
His wife did have kidney cancer diagnosis in 2019 and this all happened around that time. But hes Peterson, and I guess he cant just accept he was not coping well with his spouses diagnosis and attributed what he was feeling as reactions to food…
And this same daughter will inherit everything in his will you say? Interesting.
The crank right thinks ssris are what make people snap and go on murder sprees, no joke.
Yeah, no joke, this is their plan to stop the mass shooter epidemic. Just eliminate SSRI prescriptions and the problem will magically disappear. What’s a gun control?
