"Putting out a blanket tweet... on the day somebody has died, implying that they were on antidepressants and that's what caused their suicide... seems irresponsible." @AndersonCooper addresses presidential candidate @MarWilliamson's mental health comments. cnn.it/2MA5nWC

Given that her husband told the NYTimes she'd been on medicine for anxiety & depression for years, in what way was that irresponsible Anderson? We could have had a conversation of nuance & import yet that's not what happened. Unfortunately all you did was attack & repeat yourself

It’s not even worth going back. He wouldn’t listen, and kept interrupting.

Who was this interview about...? Even his tweets quote only him. No data presented re: increasing drug dependency or its causes. He’s acting as a spokesperson for the pharmaceutical industry, who conveniently spend majority in ad $s. It’s his paycheck. It’s corporate journalism.

Agreed. Let's cut the walk-on-eggshells routine around depression and the meds. Husband said it. It was out there. We need to talk about it. Your concern is well-intentioned but passé at this point. #talkaboutdepression

Mainstream media is responsible for creating false binaries. Questioning the proliferation of vaccines does no = anti-vax. Questioning the rise in use of antidepressants does not = anti-medicine. Questioning the President does not = treason. Asking hard questions is our duty. ❤️

Paxil increases suicidality by 800%! Look at study 329. It's irresponsible NOT to warn people about these risks.

All I can say is I don't trust CNN. I used to watch their program but they are biased. They don’t report the news anymore. They have their own agenda & helping public to make their own choice is not part of their agenda.

@AC360 is on at least one med, xanax, we know because kelly ripa stated it at the GLAAD awards. He's hardly objective here

He DID interrupt you repeatedly before you were able to explain the nuance of your positions. Not every point of view fits into a 5 second sound byte.

I’d like to reply to something you said in this interview. You’re mentioning that it’s not okay for gynecologists to prescribe anti depressants and that is straight up wrong. My gynecologist prescribes my meds. Why? Because part of the reason I suffer from (cont)
