The hosts analyze a timely study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) regarding 200 common medications that can cause depression. They suggest the media's sudden focus on ibuprofen and acid reflux meds as causes of depression is a "smokescreen" to distract from the known suicidal side effects of Chantix following the Bourdain tragedy.
