During an interview with radio host, Joe Rogan, Theo Von talked about the difficulty he experienced while trying to withdraw from his long-term use of prescribed antidepressants. Von has nearly 5 million YouTube subscribers and almost 9 million Instagram followers. Despite the years of psychiatric drugging, Theo Von’s creativity cannot be ignored.
Von is best known for his podcast, This Past Weekend, and has appeared in dozens of television/film projects, starting with MTV reality shows like Road Rules and The Challenge, along with stand-up specials.
His interview is a perfect example of why legislation is needed to protect the population from the psychiatric and drug industry.
“I want,” says Von, “to get off of antidepressants completely, man.” “I want to feel how I’m supposed to feel so I can have thoughts and actions that make me feel connected to the world.” “That stuff makes you feel dead, man.” “That’s one of my goals… I’m gonna start to take the power back of myself more.”

Von fell into the drug trap because psychiatric diagnoses are completely subjective and anyone can be labeled mentally ill without any proof of an actual abnormality, no blood test, no X-ray, CAT Scan or urine tests to receive a diagnosis.
In a landmark Georgia Exhibit, AbleChild educated lawmakers, caregivers, and the public on the ”The Psychotropic Transparency Act “with an Exit Plan as well as the gifted, creative child throughout the 1958 National Defense Act, and the pitfalls of the diagnosis itself.
Federal and state lawmakers have allowed generations of adults and children to become addicted to psychiatric drugs without ever being provided an “exit plan,” a way to get off the drugs during the first prescribing session, making the behavioral health and the drug industry lifetime clients without accountability.
At some point lawmakers must be forced to accept that the drugging of America has become a national security issue. The number of school shooters on cocktails of psychiatric drugs cannot be ignored. Nor can it be ignored that despite hundreds of billions of dollars being spent on mental health, every year the number of children being diagnosed and drugged increases, suggesting that no one is getting better.
America should demand all children and adults like Theo Von be provided a safe path off mind-altering drugs and pass legislation requiring an Exit Plan with all psychiatric drug prescribing. Theo is just a voice out of millions looking for guidance to right a terrible psychiatric wrong.
