Why are so many children under the age of 9 being prescribed antidepressants? And I had no idea they were prescribed for ADHD.

People should get the treatment they need for problems they have, but maybe it's time to ask, in general, what's going on.

@dnkboston my mother always said: it’s the poison everywhere.
@AccordingtoWouter Literal poison. The more I look at pollution, the more I wonder how any of us are thriving.
@dnkboston I think it is related. All that poison in our food – it can’t possibly be healthy. It messes with our hormones.
@AccordingtoWouter The ultra processed additives, as well as micro plastics, have been linked to all kinds of conditions. This the kernel of truth that MAHA justifies itself with. But they make it all about personal responsibility, which in this case is impossible.
