Newly appointed HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. immediately voiced concerns about the efficacy and safety of SSRIs, a class of antidepressants widely used by Americans. His statements contradict established research showing SSRIs’ positive impact on suicide rates and have drawn sharp criticism.

The confirmation vote itself highlighted a deep partisan divide, with unanimous Democratic opposition and near-unanimous Republican support.
