Here's another website that covered Tucker Carlson's show. There is a four minute video clip and then some text. There are over 1,000 comments at the bottom.

This article came out about 5 hours ago in the Huff Post. It is a left-wing publication and is attacking what Tucker Carlson said. This is a good opportunity to comment, but about the science (or lack thereof) not the political aspect of this.

This HuffPost article also completely ignores the PSSD study that Tucker Carlson mentioned and assumes that he is talking about more common sexual side effects while taking the drug. Contact the author and ask for a correction. There is a link below the article that allows you to do this. The author also gives out her email, which is liz.skalka@huffpost.com. I contacted her both ways. See text that I am referring to below:

Carlson latched on to a common side effect of SSRIs to bolster his argument that people should abruptly stop taking a potentially lifesaving, mood-altering drug: “If it steals your sex drive, maybe it’s stealing your soul,” Carlson said.

I tend to lean more to the left with my politics and am no great fan of Tucker Carlson, but I applaud his attempts to publicise the harms done by antidepressants. The article in the Huff post is a disgusting, unbalanced piece of click-bait, designed purely to create division. I had no idea how low Huff Post had fallen. I will add them to the many I'm writing to.

This is not a left-right issue, it's a human issue. We're all affected, regardless of age, sex, race, natinality, politics. The so called 'culture war' is damaging to us all and removes our power. Turning antidepressant issues into a partisan issue will only weaken our power to change anything.

I have written to the editor of Huff Post to suggest they do a proper piece of journalism about PSSD and stop trying to use the 'antidepressant issue' as a football to play culture wars. Lives are at stake.

I came across this. Jay Bhattacharya (Stanford) talks some about problems with antidepressants. Worth a few comments about PSSD?

Popular psychiatrist's YouTube channel - lots of pro-antidepressant comments 'changed my life' etc. Could do with some PSSD comments to balance things out.

I think something is removing my comments about PSSD from YouTube. Any advice on not getting auto-deleted? Both of my comments have gone.

Thank you. They only made the following correction, even though there are many more errors of equal or greater significance.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article misstated the research institute behind the serotonin study. It is University College London, not the University of London.
