Horrific and Deadly Effects of Antidepressants

The Vigilant Fox
Once you see what else these drugs are doing, you’ll never look at depression “treatment” the same way again.
The following information is based on a report originally published by A Midwestern Doctor. Key details have been streamlined and editorialized for clarity and impact. Read the original report here.
Did you know that SSRI antidepressants INCREASE suicidal thoughts by 255%?
A clinical trial on healthy volunteers found that 2 out of 20 became suicidal after taking Zoloft.
One was literally on her way to kill herself when a timely phone call saved her life.
But it’s not just suicidal thoughts that make antidepressants dangerous.
And once you see what else these drugs are doing, you’ll never look at depression “treatment” the same way again.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors—or SSRIs—are one of the most harmful medicines prescribed today.
And that’s saying a lot because the market is FULL of harmful medicines.
What’s so bad about these antidepressants?
First of all, their use is widespread and frequently unjustifiable.
They promise to be a magical solution to depression and anxiety, but it’s quite the opposite.
In fact, they can cause side effects far worse than what they claim to treat.
SSRIs don’t just dull your emotions, and they don’t alter your brain chemistry for the better.
They literally reprogram your brain.
Between 40% and 60% of users report emotional numbness. Not just negative emotions—all emotions.
Joy, pain, motivation—all of it completely flatlined.
Some describe it as “life without color” or a “zombie-like” existence.
Sure, maybe you don’t feel depressed anymore. But you don’t feel anything at all.
That sounds… terrible.
Depression can be serious, but should we accept emotionless zombies as the alternative?
If you want to dig even deeper into the dark side of antidepressants and why they’re so harmful, check out @Midwesterndoc’s comprehensive report on the subject. And be sure to share this with anyone you know who may be considering starting an SSRI.
And it’s not just becoming an emotionless zombie you have to worry about. The emotional shutdown can lead to something that is much worse than depression and anxiety.
I don’t mean just a little anger here and there.
SSRIs are causing people to commit suicide—and yes, even horrific mass shootings.
And guess what? The FDA knew about it.
Prozac triggers hallucinations, mania, and violence, and the FDA has known all along.
Even animals become aggressive on SSRIs.
But instead of going back to the drawing board, the FDA approved it anyway.
After nine years on the market, 39,000 people reported major psychiatric events. And those are only the people who reported it…
Really makes you question FDA approval, doesn’t it?
Did you know most of the mass shooters we hear about in the news were often on SSRIs?
It’s true.
And the media even reported on it. But then, they stopped.
That’s weird.
So why are we “not allowed” to talk about SSRIs and violence anymore?
It’s pretty simple.
It would blow the lid off one of the most dangerous pharmaceutical cover-ups in modern history.
It would expose the truth that Big Pharma knowingly released drugs that could make people snap and kill other people.
And they just kept selling them anyway.

But the psychotic violence caused by SSRIs is only the tip of the iceberg.
Obviously, not everyone taking these drugs becomes a mass shooter. But that doesn’t mean the other side effects are any less terrible for those who experience them.
SSRIs truly warp your mind, body, and emotions. And sometimes it is irreversible.
The numbers are truly chilling:
→ A 255% increase in suicidal thoughts
→ 30% of SSRI users develop Bipolar disorder
→ 59% suffer long-term sexual dysfunction
With many saying their libido never came back even after stopping the drug.
The science is clear. The harm caused by SSRIs greatly outweighs any benefits they provide.
Talk about depressing…
A 2020 study involving 20 healthy volunteers with zero history of depression or other mental illnesses had shocking results.
They were each given Zoloft.
TWO of them BECAME suicidal.
One of them was even on her way to kill herself when a divinely timed phone call interrupted her plans.
These two study participants were still affected several months later. They were actually questioning the stability of their personalities.
This doesn’t sound like a magic solution. This sounds like torture.
Speaking of stopping SSRIs—good luck!
They are highly addictive.
And it’s not just physical addiction. It’s neurological.
And because of what they do to the brain, it can take years to step down the dose and wean off of them. Years!
Withdrawal symptoms include things like:
– Brain zaps
– Panic attacks
– Suicidal spirals
– Derealization
And these symptoms can last weeks, months, or even years.
It’s not uncommon to fail and continue taking them because the withdrawal is just that bad.
A 2022 review found that 56% of users who tried to stop SSRIs experience withdrawal symptoms, and 46% describe it as severe.
Psychiatrists mislabel it as a “relapse” and prescribe even more drugs.
The system is set up to trap you. There’s no exit.
And the most vulnerable groups?
Pregnant women and children.
Despite strong evidence linking SSRIs to birth defects, premature birth, and newborn death, the FDA still endorses their use during pregnancy.
One study showed a six times higher risk of pulmonary hypertension in newborns.
Another study showed that SSRI babies lost height and weight in just 19 weeks.
This isn’t good.
SSRIs are being pushed on everyone. Especially vulnerable people like foster kids, parolees, prisoners, and elderly nursing home residents.
And in many of these cases, there is no real ability for them to say no.
That’s not mental health care. That’s drugging people.
The industry tells us SSRIs are “fixing a serotonin imbalance.”
But that’s a lie.
There’s no solid evidence that depression is caused by low serotonin.
So what’s the real mechanism at play here?
SSRIs alter brain wiring. And obviously not always in good ways.
SSRI users describe feeling like their “personality changed” after starting the drug.
The reports are endless and absolutely chilling.
Some were left numb for years. Others became aggressive, impulsive, or dissociated from reality.
Many say they don’t recognize who they became after taking SSRIs.
Excuse me… what?!
And of course, patients and their families are rarely warned about these effects.
Most say they were never told about the risks. There was no informed consent.
How can you not inform depressed people that their medication might make them suicidal? How is it even possible that we can be asking that question?
They experienced these things and talked to their doctors.
They were gaslit every step of the way.
If you or someone you love is taking SSRIs or is considering taking them, I urge you to read the full report from A Midwestern Doctor
How many more people have to suffer before this ends?
How many more people who reach out to their doctor because something is off and they’re looking for help are going to be hurt, sometimes permanently?
It’s time to expose the cover-up and end Big Pharma’s abuse and gaslighting once and for all.
RFK Jr. is right—this could finally be the turning point.
For 40 years, this tragedy was hidden behind slick ads and corrupted science.
But now it’s in the light and MAHA is ready to fight.
If you know anyone considering starting an SSRI, be sure to forward them this information. Because if you wait until after, it might be too late.
Thanks for reading!

WHO member states agree on draft of ‘pandemic treaty’ that could be adopted in May

From LifeSiteNews
The WHO draft ‘pandemic accord’ includes data sharing between governments and pharmaceutical companies to develop ‘pandemic-related health products,’ though it would not apply to the US.
Representatives of WHO member states have agreed on a draft of the “pandemic accord” that is scheduled to be voted on next month.
“The nations of the world made history in Geneva today,” Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the WHO, said after the member states agreed on the draft of the pandemic treaty on Wednesday.
“In reaching consensus on the Pandemic Agreement, not only did they put in place a generational accord to make the world safer, they have also demonstrated that multilateralism is alive and well, and that in our divided world, nations can still work together to find common ground, and a shared response to shared threats. I thank WHO’s Member States, and their negotiating teams, for their foresight, commitment and tireless work. We look forward to the World Health Assembly’s consideration of the agreement and – we hope – its adoption,” the WHO leader continued.
The agreement was reached by the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB), the committee set up by the WHO to negotiate the treaty, after more than three years of negotiations.
According to the WHO’s press release, the core pandemic treaty draft includes the establishment of “a pathogen access and benefit sharing system,” allowing the sharing of data between governments and pharmaceutical companies aimed at quickly developing and supplying “pandemic-related health products” during a pandemic. These “health products” could be dangerous mRNA injections, similar to those rolled out and imposed on large parts of the world population during the COVID-19 crisis.
The WHO claims that the “proposal affirms the sovereignty of countries to address public health matters within their borders, and provides that nothing in the draft agreement shall be interpreted as providing WHO any authority to direct, order, alter or prescribe national laws or policies, or mandate States to take specific actions, such as ban or accept travellers, impose vaccination mandates or therapeutic or diagnostic measures or implement lockdowns.”
The WHO seems to be responding to critics of the Pandemic Treaty, who have argued it is a power grab by the WHO. It would give the global organization unchecked power whenever it declares that any health risk is a “pandemic.” However, the new draft has not yet been made public, making a thorough assessment impossible.
WHO director-general Ghebreyesus engaged in his typical fear-mongering, stating, “Virus is the worst enemy. (It) could be worse than a war.”

While the WHO pandemic treaty and the amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) failed to pass last year, the new version of the agreement could be passed by a two-thirds majority at the annual World Health Assembly (May 19-27, 2025) next month.
However, the U.S. was not part of the negotiations and would not be bound by the agreement since President Donald Trump withdrew the country from the international body in January 2025 after taking office for his second term. Argentine President Javier Milei announced in February that his country will also leave the WHO, following Trump’s example. If more countries were to leave the WHO, the pandemic agreement could be ineffective in practice, even if it were to pass in May.

RFK Jr. Exposes a Chilling New Autism Reality

The Vigilant Fox
Autism rates are exploding. The “experts” say they’re clueless. But Kennedy believes he knows exactly where to look.
HHS Secretary RFK Jr. just held a press conference to respond to the CDC’s latest numbers on autism rates in the United States.
The findings were impossible to ignore, and Kennedy didn’t sugarcoat just how dire the situation had become.
He revealed that 1 in 31 American children are now diagnosed with autism.
For boys, the numbers are even worse—1 in 20.
And in California, where data tracking is considered the most thorough in the country, the rate may be as high as 1 in 12.5 boys. According to Kennedy, that figure likely reflects a national trend.
Just two years ago, the national rate was 1 in 36. Now, it’s jumped dramatically—and Kennedy says he’s determined to find out why.
“The ASD prevalence rate in 8-year-olds is now 1 in 31. Shocking. There is an extreme risk for boys. Overall, the risk for boys of getting an autism diagnosis in this country is now 1 in 20.
“And as high in California, which has the best data collection.
“So it probably also reflects the national trend—1 in 12.5 boys. This is part of an unrelenting upward trend. The prevalence two years ago was 1 in 36,” Kennedy lamented.
He didn’t hold back in calling out the media and powerful industries, accusing them of covering up environmental factors that are contributing to the crisis.
Kennedy blasted the “epidemic denialists,” pointing to a 1992 ADDM report as proof that autism rates have exploded nearly fivefold in just three decades. Back then, the rate was 1 in 150. Today, it’s 1 in 31.
“It’s clear that the rates are real,” Kennedy stressed.
“Year by year there is a steady, relentless increase. I want it because this epidemic denial has become a feature in the mainstream media and it’s based on an industry canard.
“Obviously there are people who don’t want us to look at environmental exposures,” he said.
He also took direct aim at the claim that today’s rising autism rates are simply the result of better awareness or improved diagnosis.
To prove his point, Kennedy cited a peer-reviewed 1987 study from North Dakota, where researchers attempted to identify every child in the state with a developmental disorder.
They didn’t cut corners. They analyzed medical records, confirmed diagnoses, and even conducted in-person evaluations across a population of 180,000 children. Then, they followed that same group for 12 years.
If you still believe autism rates are only rising because doctors are “getting better at diagnosing it,” Kennedy said, you’d have to believe that the original researchers somehow missed nearly all the cases—98.8 percent of them.
But that’s not what happened.
“They went back in 2000 and found that they had missed exactly one child,” he said.
“They weren’t missing all these cases. The epidemic is real.”
Then came one of the most infuriating parts of the press conference: Kennedy revealed how autism research funding has been misdirected for years.
He said the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has pumped 10 to 20 times more money into studying genetic causes of autism than into researching environmental ones.
That, Kennedy said, is a dead end.
“This is a preventable disease. We know it’s an environmental exposure. It has to be. Genes do not cause epidemics,” he argued.
That’s why Kennedy says he’s redirecting resources toward the kind of research that’s long been neglected—into environmental factors.
“And that’s where we’re going to find the answer,” he added.
The most emotional moment came at the end, when Kennedy spoke from the heart about what this epidemic is doing to children—and to families.
“These are children who should not be suffering like this,” he said.
“These are kids who, many of them, were fully functional and regressed because of some environmental exposure into autism when they’re two years old. These are kids who will never pay taxes, they’ll never hold a job, they’ll never play baseball, they’ll never write a poem, they’ll never go out on a date.
Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.”
“We have to recognize we are doing this to our children and we need to put an end to it,” Kennedy declared.

A little bit about me: I spent over a decade working as a licensed healthcare professional. But when the Biden administration rolled out its vaccine mandates, I couldn’t stay silent. My conscience simply wouldn’t let me.
That’s when I started this page.
Since then, I’ve shared thousands of clips featuring doctors and scientists who were brave enough to question the official COVID narrative. Along the way, we’ve reached billions of views and helped millions of people see the side of the story the government didn’t want out.
These days, I’m going even deeper—breaking down interviews with dissenting experts and revisiting forgotten science to uncover what you haven’t been told about cancer, cholesterol, fasting, sunlight, and more.
