Kennedy Jr. Accuses Biden Admin. of Fueling US Child Medication Crisis

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Claims on US Child Medication Spark Debate Peru – A recent video circulating online features Robert F. Kennedy Jr. making strong claims about the number of medicated children in the United States. Kennedy Jr. asserts that the Biden administration's policies have led to the US having the highest number of children on medication globally. He supports his assertions with statistics showing increases in prescriptions for ADHD medication, antidepressants, and GLP-1 drugs. "We have the most drugged children in the world," Kennedy Jr. states in the video clip. He further points to a 1400% increase in antidepressant prescriptions for children between 1987 and 2014 and an 800% increase in the use of psychotics between 1995 and 2009. While Kennedy Jr.'s statements have garnered attention, independent verification of the statistics is needed. Experts in the field of child health and medication are yet to publicly comment on the accuracy of the data presented. The video highlights a critical issue concerning children's health and medication, prompting a necessary discussion on the potential impact of government policies and the need for thorough investigation into the presented data.
