Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has repeatedly claimed a link between SSRIs, benzodiazepines, stimulants and mass shootings despite limited or contradictory evidence. He asserted "tremendous circumstantial evidence" connecting psychiatric drugs to violent events and proposed sending people on such medications to taxpayer-funded "wellness farms" to dry out. After becoming Health and Human Services secretary, he vowed to investigate the alleged link, even though studies since 2019 have shown most school shooters had no known psychiatric-medication history and that those who did showed "no direct or causal association" between the drugs and violent acts.
