Trump sparks major concern as he takes aim at very common medication
Donald Trump’s latest executive order seeks to reform healthcare for American children, emphasizing mental health and chronic disease prevention. Led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the initiative establishes the “Make America Healthy Again Commission” to examine the widespread use of psychiatric medications, including SSRIs, antipsychotics, and stimulants. The commission will assess their impact and recommend strategies for improving children’s health within 180 days.
However, the order has drawn criticism from healthcare professionals such as Dr. Lelach Rave and Summer Starr. While they acknowledge the importance of monitoring prescriptions, they warn that limiting access to essential mental health medications could impede recovery and reinforce stigma surrounding mental illness.
