<p>Following the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gavin-newsom-mocks-prayer-after-catholic-school-shooting?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Gavin+Newsom+Mocks+Prayer+After+Catholic+School+Shooting">deadly shooting</a> at Annunciation Catholic Church by a transgender-identifying 23-year-old, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismissed rabid gun control calls and focused on the &#8220;health crisis&#8221; behind mass shootings.</p>
<p>&#8220;I certainly consider mass shootings a health crisis,&#8221; Kennedy <a href="https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1961159049866846589">said</a> on Thursday. &#8220;And we are doing, for the first time, real studies on what the ideology of that is, and we&#8217;re looking, for the first time, at psychiatric drugs.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;People have had guns in this country forever,&#8221; the secretary continued. &#8220;When I was a kid, we had shooting clubs at our school. Kids, my classmates, and other people would bring a .22 rifle with their guns to school and park in the parking lot. Nobody was shooting up schools.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s never been a time in the history of humanity where people walked into a crowd, or a church, or a movie theater, or a school, or a crowd of strangers and just started randomly shooting,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s happening in our country, it&#8217;s not happening around the world. And there are many other countries that have comparable levels [of] guns that we have in this country &#8212; we had comparable levels in the &#8217;40s, &#8217;50s, and &#8217;60s and people weren&#8217;t doing that. Something changed, and it dramatically changed human behavior.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;One of the culprits we need to examine is the fact that we&#8217;re the most overmedicated nation in the world, and a lot of those are psychiatric drugs that have blackbox warnings on them that warn of suicidal and homicidal ideation,&#8221; Kennedy added. &#8220;We are doing those studies right now for the first time, and we will have an answer.&#8221;</p>

<p>Kennedy has previously noted that HHS will look into the effects of psychiatric drugs and how they are being prescribed. Back in February, the secretary listed SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) and other psychiatric drugs as a potential contributor to our national health crisis.</p>

<p>“Whatever belief or suspicion I have expressed in the past, I’m willing to subject them all to the scrutiny of unbiased science,&#8221; RFK said at the time. “That is gonna be our template: unbiased science.”</p>

<p>The use of SSRI drugs among teenagers and adults in the U.S. has increased by almost 400% from the early 1990s to 2006, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-enter-panic-mode-as-rfk-sets-out-to-make-america-healthy-again">The Daily Wire</a> previously noted. By 2014, one in ten adults had an SSRI prescription, before there was another 35% increase from 2015 to 2021, totaling tens of millions of prescriptions.</p>
<p>Still, the number of Americans suffering from depression has continued to spike. “The percentage of U.S. adults who report having been diagnosed with depression at some point in their lifetime reached 29.0%, nearly 10 percentage points higher than in 2015,&#8221; a 2023 Gallup poll found.</p>
