I’m pretty sure you could find a supposed correlation between the popularity of Matt Walsh and the rise in mental illness.
In the past, they would not have even been able to watch him. You might not have known they existed. I doubt the percentage has risen. They are more obvious due to less institutionalization since the 80s. Add to that social media and they're able to be in our faces more.
people like walsh don't cause mental illness, they just allow it to continue and give 'reasons' for the illness. they can make it worse and create a safe space for those suffering from terminal stupidity with no hope of treatment. they are enablers.
"In other words, you just flat out lied to your audience."
That perfectly describes Matt Walsh on just about every topic he decides to talk about
Yeah, pretty much. I always go back to what Cody Johnston of Some More News
said when talking about the right-wing pundits like Walsh (although I think he was specifically talking about Ben Shapiro when he said it, or possibly Crowder, I forget), and I may be paraphrasing here: "You're either lying, stupid, or most likely, both."
Too bad there isn't a drug to cure Matt Walsh of Dunning Kruger.
But to add on: the only thing I agree with him on is that we shouldn't advertise drugs that require a prescription. It messes up the doctor patient interaction. Doctors should be the only one bringing up meds but with ads the drug industries basically pay off doctors to push those same drugs.
I am aversed to advertising and medication tbh. Advertise pharmacies and the like. Not the medication itself
To be fair, it isn't a killer of decent health care, NZ having pretty good results there, but I don't think it's necessary to advertise these drugs outside of "News story: new medication has passed its trials to help with X condition", ie actual news stories or general public health information.
I was thinking the same thing about there being no treatment for Matt's stupidity. Also, labeling depression as "unhappiness" just shows how little he knows about mental illness and mood disorders. As someone who has had to live with depression on and off for most of my 60 plus years, I can assure anyone that clinical depression is not the same as just being unhappy. I've had times in my life where my circumstances were pretty good, such as living with the love of my life, having a decent job that wasn't boring me to tears and not worrying how I was going to pay the bills and yet I was deeply depressed for months on end. This is not a case of feeling sorry for myself one day because I didn't get something I wanted. But obviously Matt doesn't know anything about this kind of experience because he has no self-awareness of the kind that struggling with such suffering can teach a person. If Matt were any more shallow, he'd be two dimensional.
@@jakeloranger1419i have experience with this type of depression. Matt Walsh is a dangerous moron.
7:35 - _"other than New Zealand"_ ? ... since when does the world only consist of so few (NZ and USA) countries ?
never heard of eg Europe (there are lots of countries in the EU) where tv commercials for prescription drugs are illegal ?
such commercials ARE a problem (even with all their disclaimers), but the question has to be asked to the politicians (and probably also many people, see the last sentence below) in the USA and maybe some other countries, why they didn't make them illegal, or whether they are governed by the pharma lobby instead of politicians ... of course, big industries (not only pharma) try to do everything (including selling problematic food and goods, and charging any insane amount of money even for life preserving and saving things) if there are no penalties and limitations for it.
but such restrictions probably immediately would be considered to be anti-capitalistic (= "anti-american" = socialistic = communist) by many.
"From 1991 to 2018, SSRi prescriptions have gone up by 3000%."
I mean, That doesn't surprise me, since the first SSRI, Fluoxetine, was approved in 1987. It makes sense that SSRI prescriptions have gone up massively since 4 years after they got on the market. You can't exactly switch people from TCAs to SSRIs just because there's a new drug on the market, these things take time. Newer patients get prescribed SSRIs first, then they look at other meds, but switching from a TCA to an SSRI is dangerous if done too quickly, there's no reason for anyone to do so, unless they are switching meds anyway.
“Advertisements are heavily regulated in the United States” less so than in other jurisdictions. I’m always amazed by how unregulated US drug advertising is.
Remove "drug advertising is" and it's still true. It's amazing how bad it is.
@@GameTimeWhy
Just remove the drug. Advertising in general is way too unregulated.
@@GameTimeWhy But the grammar of the changed sentence is no longer correct.
@@Apollorion
"I'm amazed by how bad the US advertising is", is correct grammar.
As is, "I'm amazed by how bad regulated US is", when removing both 'drug and 'advertisements, from the sentence. 💁♂️
Sure bad would be a typo technically, but grammatically speaking the sentence still correct.
@@guytheincognito4186 GameTimeWhy suggested removing "drug advertising is", not "drug advertising". The latter of which is what you employed. And the removal of "is" is what made that sentence's grammar crash. That sentence GTW suggested is "I'm always amazed by how unregulated US." and that is grammatically speaking incorrect.
(By shifting the order of the words we can, grammatically speaking, correct it, though: e.g. _I'm always unregulated by how US amazed._ )
Matt acting like unhappiness is synonymous with depression infuriates me. Happiness is an emotion, depression is a serious mental health condition.
Dismissing peoples health like that just makes me think even worse of him. What a miserable excuse for a human being.
Some people seem to be dedicating their lives to making problems out of absolutely nothing... and ignoring the very real problems that surround them every day.
As said before, there is nothing walsh truly understand, he talks to here his own voice.
Peace
Walsh says big pharma as if small pharma would be better, people would take doxycycline for a cough and propofol for sleep and Percocet for headaches, azepines for hangovers and fun, lithium back in 7-up, whiskey in baby toothing pain tinctures and for the hell of it why not amphetamines instead of coffee, aggressive Chemo instead of shaving. Self prescription sounds like a wonderful idea! *_NOT_*
Victorian pharmacy prescribing acute leed poisoning "nimby pill" just because they can
Indeed.
whatever do you mean? like you wake up in the morning inject a shot of morphine, and before breakfast you balance it out with a shot of epinephrine to keep your heart from stopping, its fine!
Thing is, many of the problem where medication is used are chronic problems. The medication only control the situation, making it bearable.
I know someone with sever anxiety problems. Without her medication, she's a wreck, barely able to survive.
In Canada, we now do have medical help for the termination of one's life. But, ONLY at the express request of the patient AND after a very careful medical evaluation/screening. Matt Walsh lies about that subject, as he always do.
He said people seek drugs to treat "unhappiness"; that is in no way the same thing as chronic depression or anxiety. He attempts to trivialize serious, sometimes debilitation conditions.
Just 2 minutes in and my idiot alarm went off. "..when they are unhappy. Or lack self control..." set it off.
Unsurprising that MW just straight up lies, it's hardly the first time
Well, the most reliable way to tell if Matt Walsh lies is to determine if he talks or not.
What I love is Matt is actually angry about capitalism, but if you used this in any other situation he'd call you a Communist
I am soooo happy i have universal healthcare
Ditto. Annual medication costs + medical bills = Zero.
It's definitly better than the current American system lol, but I still think there are better alternatives overall, especially since universal healthcare *heavily* incentives the state to engage in eugenics. As seen in Canada.
And of course, people have a natural evolutionary hatred against non-conformity (eg why leftists despise actual autistic people like me, despite their claims of being against ableism). So I'm not trusting any democratic state with that incentive when there is also an evolutionary drive for eugenics in non-autistic people.
@@randomchannel1519 what drivel. Get your head clear
@@urielpolak9949i was like huh??
@@randomchannel1519
There's no such evolutionary drive. You need to get out of your head with these homemade theories.
People tend not to want to hang around those with paranoid tendency regardless of whether they're able or not. I think that's what your actual problem is and you're using ableism to justify your paranoid tendency and invented this false evolutionary drive to further justify it in your head. 🤦♂️
Or alternatively your idea on what people ought to act like is so skewed that anyone that isn't instantly walking on eggshells around you, giving you their seat and a pat on the back merely for showing up, Muust be Ableist inclined in your view. 🤦♂️
If this is, either version is what people get from you, do you et al think it's weird that they might act or respond as they do? 🤷♂️
My biggest issue is, if a doctor prescribes you an antibiotic due to an infection, you are now taking a 'prescription drug' even if only for x amount of limited time, you still are part of that 'generalized' data set. If you, step on a rusty nail, and get a tetanus shot, quite often it will have follow up antibiotic prescription, a lung infection, sore throat, so many possible ailments that everyone gets, a distinction I would ask about would be is it a long term constant prescription (and women on birth control, are very often on prescriptions for it) so what was the actual data collated against, are there limiters on time frame vs purpose (I myself am a Type 1 Diabetic, so I always have a prescription for insulin, lancets, pen needles, test strips (blood sugar) and keytone test strips, and glucagon, so I have a minimum of 6 individual prescriptions just to deal with/regulate one genetic disease). The data set and information behind that given data set allows to contextualize better, and Mr. Walsh skips all of those rather important things there.
Well if Matt brought hard facts and figures into it, it would be alot harder for him to Lie about it, wouldn't it be.) 😂
"People are getting more obese."
Okay. How about we regulate hidden sugar in foods, ban direct advertising to children, subsidize healthy food choices and not elect an obese glutton?
"No. Not like that."
There are so many actually well founded criticisms of American healthcare and Walsh just skimmed by ALL of it. Like I also think that there is too much corporate power surrounding drugs and have my own criticism about the focus of medicine being on controlling symptoms rather than finding causes, but Walsh is just arguing in bad faith in order to get birth control, abortion drugs, gender affirming care, etc restricted because he thinks those are icky.
Alot of causes are found but per usual turn out uncurable and only treatable to keep bareable. Alot of neccesary treatments also require costly ingredients to make and they're costly because the ingredients are finite and usually need to be transported all over the world before they can become the drugs people need.
The Standard American Diet does not improve better health outcomes. This may support the need for more medication. However, if a person needs a medication, they should take it.
Matt: How is it that pharmacorpos make ever more $, while failing to improve the population's health?
So close to an epiphany yet so far...
Also Matt: Don't trust the government! Don't let them crack down on corruption and abuse!
Well, not directly but that IS the shit he supports.
I am infinitely thankful to and for "big pharma," and specifically SSRI's.
Funnily enough, my biggest issue with drug precriptions is probably something that Walsh actually likes. In that SSRI's are turning zoomers into psychotic puritans.
Matt Walsh caught lying?
Again?
He is getting pretty good at it, he must have practices more than 10,000 hours.
his mommy probably keeps a chart for him on the fridge…Matty lied 20 times today! So proud of our boy.
Once... for the first time in the year, I ate a cookie. The percentage for my intake of cookie increased infinatly!
Excellent, as usual.
Matt will change *what he is using for a mind,* if HE ever develops a need for lifesaving medications!
But somehow I think Matt would be against allowing the government to not allow advertising of medications as that takes away the free speech of the companies. I think we should be like the rest of the world in not allowing these advertisements.
I think the phrase The Daily Liar is applicable here
I’m a GP/ family practitioner and basically, he’s talking balls! That is all.
Wow, Matt comes out of the closet as a nut job!😮
I mean, he's kinda been waving a "I'm a nut job" flag for years... No closet involved lol
Financial problems over medical bills, stress, the negativity of social media, Matt Walsh. They all don't help creating a healthy environment for people.
I don't think prescription medication should be advertised.
SSRI’s are NOT used to treat ‘unhappiness’…Me, I’m 59 and take 3 bp and one statin, as I had an MI. This odious excuse for a human is spine shiveringly sickening.
We don’t ‘cure’ diabetes, heart disease etc
This guy's rationalwiki article is a hoot.
It sounds like Matt is basing his argument upon unrelated statistics. This is the false cause fallacy. I would count as a drug taker, simply because I take a drug to control my cholesterol level. I'm sure that this particular treatment is also common in the USA. Then we have pain killers...I'm sure that many Americans regularly take pain killers. And then we have diabetes-related drugs, and heart issues... The fact that a large percentage of Americans take some form of medication isn't evidence of a link.
As someone on all of those drugs for those reasons, I can confirm they're common outside of US, too. Low-dose aspirin is prescribed to me for my heart after my heart attack, one a day for life, so does Matt want to fearmonger about that, too?
@@archapmangcmg Matt is just fear-mongering. He is undoubtedly ignorant of medical issues. My wife is on a cocktail of drugs, due to loss of organ function, diabetes, arthritis, and so-on... She also takes aspirin. She has a 60-year medal, having become an insulin-dependent diabetic in the early sixties. She survived cancer in 2009, following a major operation. Sadly, medical complications have left her bed-bound.
@@clemstevenson Matt complains about Big Pharma but works for Big Fear.
And I'm sorry to hear about your wife being put through all of that. Hopefully, she still finds enjoyment in life despite it all.
@@archapmangcmg My wife is grateful that she's survived for so long. (Although her health has deteriorated in 2023.) You see, the type of cancer she had in 2009 was painless. Because the cancer is painless, most people are unaware of the problem until its too late. Sufferers are usually dead within five years. Because my wife was being monitored (due to diabetes), a urine blockage was noted. It turned out to be a cancerous growth.
@@clemstevenson Yeah, sometimes that happens. My own diabetes went undiagnosed because I didn't notice any symptoms. Then I had the heart attack and everything was checked over.
Interesting video
omfg the Canadian assisted suicide is SUPER HARD to get passed. You got to be on your deathbed. My uncle would have benefited from it, but instead he was left to waste away in a hospital bed, waking up after sleeping and beginning to sob because he was still here. Don't get me wrong, there are movements that are happening to expand the scope of assisted suicide, which I am conflicted with. But as I have come to understand is if someone wants to shuck the mortal coil, they will, and I find it far better that someone ends in peace once, rather than the need to double tap themselves because they screwed up with the first shot.
'Horrifying' that Veterans Affairs worker raised assisted suicide with troubled veteran, group says
Title of a CBC news article that goes over the story of a Canadian veteran who reached out for help being offered medical suicide as an option.
So it's not people asking about suicide. It's the government proposing it as a solution. And that is a problem.
Not to mention that, at least from my view of the MAID situation as an autistic person.
1. The court case that made this even possible, was overseen by a judge who's the daughter of a prominant eugenicist, showcasing that the hands of the crypto eugenicist movement are behind much of the policy making.
And 2. Leftists have a natural desire to eradicate non-conformity, as they are conformists. Hence their actions in places like Bosnia, Chechnya, and Tibet; despite the seeming contridictions with their stated goals. So the Canadian government being under control of leftists shows that the true end goal of this is to eradicate autistic people and other groups that are more resistent to conformist worldviews in result of their conditions.
Interesting. I knew Matt was ignorant, lacking in critical thinking, a scumbag and in general a nasty person, but I hadn't realized he was Evil, with a capital "E". Way to go Matt - continue your descent into the dark side!
Lets go. Humanitys finest

Dear Wash, The medicine IS THE GOOD THING THAT'S HAPPENING
I have no statistics to cite, but I would imagine that the vast majority of those who are taking 5 or more prescription drugs are likely to be elderly, which they are likely to have achieved that advanced age DUE TO MEDICATION IMPROVING LIFE EXPECTANCY.
I take 4 prescriptions none psychological it’s blood pressure…
Of curse he lied to his audience: that's his *job!*
Insufferable. Good word choice.
I’m surprised Matt cares about the health insurance companies making medical help so expensive that it reduces the life expectancy of most US citizens compared other OCD countries
Let's be positive here. Invest in Big Pharma stock market.
SSRIs were first introduced in 1987. Quoting growth rate from 1991 is highly misleading.
So Matt thinks "that dang phone" causes colon cancer now?
Stick kind of reminds me of Foamy the Squirrel.
This all goes back to one point i could steelman matty boy here with. Making a lot of money as a health professional when you have sick patient. Ideally a doctor should be paid by his healthy patients. For they can work. The more healthy patients you have the more money you make. Utopia. This goes back to prevention over cure
China hasn't made that work but properly nationalised healthcare systems tend to have large support along those lines
If someone cured cancer they'd become a multi-billionaire over night. They might even push towards trillionaire status.
The only thing I disagree with is the "Ask your Doctor about X med"
Why? Am I not there to figure out what is wrong? Shouldn't they already have knowledge of the drug so that, in cases where it's needed; it CAN be administered? I feel that it gives more providence for a med to be abused if the patient is acting on behalf of the doctor. Now, I know this is close to 40 years ago, but back in the 90's; no one was asking any doctor about any med off handed. It's not like trying to pander to the doctor for a med makes it any more proficient than the doc just mentioning it.
The US is over medicated as it is and talking about another pill to cram down your throat to the doc isn't going to make that any better.
Its almost like a ton more low income Americans have access to health care for some reason....
Gop and Trump are fueling psychological pain. Not the fight against mental illness failing.
I don’t understand Matt Walsh’s position regarding drug advertising. It is fairly regulated but certainly there’s a lot of advertising out there as well. Is Matt suggesting that the government should limit the ability of a corporation to advertise its product? Gosh, that sounds a lot like socialism to me. I didn’t know Matt Walsh was a socialist.
This man is unhinged
🎉😊❤
I can’t tell how hard he’s just grifting versus actually believing his own bullshit
7:12 I think you meant gender identity, not sexuality /g
Medication and PoliticsImma1st
I hate that guy.
So... I work specifically in pharmacy analytics, and have been doing this in various places in the industry for the last decade.
(1) the problem in this industry stems largely from capitalism. Everything that I see is about managing the flow of money, and I have long said that I hope my job gets legislated out of existence (by the implementation of a fully socialized health care system).
(2) it's easy to blame 'big pharma' or 'insurance companies'; again, the problem is _capitalism_. No-one in the industry is an innocent - not the doctors, not the pharmacies (whether a giant chain like Walgreens or CSV or the little mom-and-pop boutiques like my grandfather used to own), not the PBMs, not the wholesalers, not the insurance companies, no-one. every single one of them are trying to maximize their profits - and are willing to bend (if not outright break) the law to do so.
(3) The problem is not limited to pharmacy - our entire medical industry is fundamentally broken, and is not going to be fixed anytime soon.
Whoa! I just got to Mark going around the bend! holy moly...
Yeah, not sure taking medical advice from someone without a medical degree is a good idea..
why does your torso appear slightly thinner than your limbs? that's going to be something i'll have difficulty un-seeing
6:40 Please watch the plural agreement in your scripts.
Correct: "Most abortions *are* done..."
Incorrect: "Most decisions to get an abortion *is* relatively early in the pregnancy process..."
Both of those sentences have the same plurality and tense. It's correct to use the word "are" for both.
Walsh lying and exaggerating. Quelle Surprise!
I have a serious question. Why is UA-cam not taken Matt Walsh's videos down?
I understand that freedom of speech should protected, but I also think that blatant lies and misinformation should at least be flagged by UA-cam so that viewers can be protected.
People that have no understanding about medicine should not be talking about medicine and making it seem as if they do. It is ok if you want to talk about a topic you have no understanding about but as long as you make that clear.
6:15Im canadian. "MAID" as its called, is only for those with underline illinesses that the person cant come back from, and they are in way too much pain to continue. And yes, your GP can refuse it if they dont think your qualified for MAID. You cant just go there and say "oh im depressed, end my life" not how it works at all. One articlr said that if someone is addicted to dr*gs they can go under MAID,A Which isnt true at all, if you look at the actual canadian government site, no where in it does it say "someone addicted to drigs can recieve MAID". You have to be a rational thinker to be able to decide as well. Anyone who is suffering with mental illness, they neef to wait till next year. And even with that, it will depend on the illness if you can recieve MAID.
Not just anyone can go in and recieve MAID. You need to qualify for it.
No, lol;
There's literal documented evidence of Canadian hospitals withholding care and good living conditions from patients in an attempt to get them to agree to Maid.
And the Canadian government is currently advancing legislation that further expands the scope of Maid.
Of course, all of this makes sense when you realize that the court case that made MAID possible, was overseen by a judge whose the daughter of a prominant Quebeci eugenicist.
Canada is just trying to rid themselves of the mentally ill for budget reaons and to fuel leftist-sociopathy, instead of fixing their decrepit mental health system.
He just spits out a bunch of lies and false equivalencies to scare his audience into a fenzy.
Most drug ads are laughably uninformive of wtf disease they're talking about. 🤣
Matt Walsh and telling the truth are oxymorons. Just like Flerfs he twists everything to suit his narrative.
I guess I should stop taking all my cancer meds?Matt is ignorant.
Matt is deadly.
8:55 ish - he's talking about VAERS, cuz I think he's an anti-vaxxer
The fact that Matt spews such utter BS with so much confidence is already enough to piss me off to a massive degree.
That there are still *so many people* who consider that lying sack of excrement to be a reliable source of information only serves to elevate it to 'fury of a thousand suns' levels of hate.
Kinda glad we're not living in Star Wars, cause I'd have gone full Sith at this rate.

Consider the following: doi: 10.1377/hlthaff.2010.1024
But Walsh or whatever his name is, is quite weird and has no idea what he is talking about.
