Well Being: Selective Serotonin‑ReUptake Inhibitors (SSRI)
The medical community continues prescribing SSRIs like an automated candy dispenser
...Bioethicists state that it is impossible to do randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on pregnant women for ethical reasons, which is why more studies haven’t been conducted on the use of SSRIs during pregnancy. Despite this fact, the pharmaceutical companies will then state, without blinking an eye, that RCTs haven’t shown any ill effects and that retrospective and animal studies aren’t the “gold standard.” Whelp - that certainly is a double standard!
Yet, in one published study, the health records from more than 15,000 people in Finland were evaluated, and the authors found that rates of depression in early adolescence were about three times higher among those who had prenatal exposure to SSRIs compared with those who did not - whose mothers also had “psychiatric disorders.” The cumulative incidence of depression among offspring exposed prenatally to SSRIs was 8.2% by age 14.9, compared to 1.9% whose mothers did not take SSRIs during pregnancy, but were in the psychiatric disorder, no medication group (ref).
This means that between 300,000 and 400,000 kids are being exposed to these drugs each year during pregnancy. Suppose the rate of depression is tripling in these children. In that case, that’s adding a significant burden of unnecessary depression, with a million or more adolescents being depressed enough to seek medical attention. This is an unacceptable burden being placed on these young adults.
In addition, it has been hypothesized that the rise in pediatric gender dysphoria cases could be associated with SSRI use during pregnancy. This is another significant risk that has not been adequately studied.
However, and maybe more importantly, the FDA has NOT recognized behavioral changes, sexual dysfunction, or dysregulation in the offspring (i.e., children of pregnant women) as a labeled side-effect of maternal SSRI use during pregnancy.
Yet, animal studies show adult offspring exposed to maternal SSRIs can have:
Altered sexual behavior
Altered stress responses
Altered social behavior
Changes in brain sexual-dimorphic nuclei
Changes in serotonin system wiring
Furthermore, there is even a syndrome identified as “Neonatal Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Withdrawal Syn

New report denounces Havana and claims ‘campaign of subversion’ has infiltrated highest levels of US government
"...There is overwhelming evidence that the machinery of the Cuban Government has been progressively organized around… a fundamental hatred of the United States,” the report stated. “Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history —from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses— can be linked, in some way, shape, or form to Cuban influence.”
The report doesn’t just hand-wave. It names names. It details how the Venceremos Brigade and other “revolutionary tourism” programs have funneled thousands of American activists to Havana for ideological (and sometimes literal) weapons training.
The Venceremos Brigade has brought 10,000 American activists to Cuba since 1969. This is because nothing says “I am fighting for the oppressed working class” quite ...
Now there is a plan! Of course dumb Canadians will not have the courage to vote with their brains, instead of their propagandized feelings of fear.
Canada’s economy is stalling badly.
We just endured the worst decade for real GDP growth per person since the Great Depression.
Over the past ten years, real GDP per capita limped along at an average of just 0.6% annually.
And Bloomberg’s consensus forecast for 2026? A paltry 0.7%.
Why does GDP matter?
Because family disposable income follows GDP like a shadow. Anemic economic growth resulting from lower investment means stagnant wages. Period.
The Liberals and fake Conservatives won't fix this.
The People's Party has a comprehensive plan to unleash private investment, supercharge productivity, and put more money back into your pocket:
Make the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) permanent – Let businesses write off capital investments rapidly and skyrocket cash flow.
End Corporate Welfare – Zero subsidies. Zero bailouts. Zero regional ...
