Kamala Harris' Stepdaughter Addresses Her Stances On SSRIs: 'They Have Saved My Life'
Ella Emhoff, the stepdaughter of former Vice President Kamala Harris and the daughter of former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, cleared up her stance on SSRIs, saying she feels like her original video about the commonly prescribed antidepressants is being used for “right-wing propaganda.”
“I am very pro-SSRIs,” Ella Emhoff said in an Instagram video posted Saturday. “I do not support the eradication of them at all. They have saved my life 100%. All I was trying to say in the video is that I didn’t know how hard it was to get off of them or the actual process of getting off of them, which there is a very healthy way to do it.”
In Emhoff’s original video posted in December, which has now been deleted, she said she listened to a podcast about the “over-prescription” of SSRIs and expressed she didn’t feel like getting off them is “talked about enough.”
“I feel like so many of us are on these meds and ... people get off of them and they kind of break down, and it can be really bad,” she said.
