Gen Z’ers on SSRIs for Years Are Finally Starting to Question the Risks

Gen Z is finally waking up and realizing that they were mass-prescribed antidepressants without much consideration for the long-term side effects.

Among them is Ella Emhoff, the 26-year-old stepdaughter of Kamala Harris, who recently took to TikTok to express concern that she’s having difficulty coming off of SSRIs herself.

“I’ve been on SSRIs for over a decade, almost 15 years probably, and [now researchers are] calling out the lack of research on long-term use of these things,” she said to her 60,000-plus followers.

That means Emhoff was around 11 years old when she started taking the drugs, which are prescribed to treat depression and anxiety.
