Overview
- Joe Rogan told listeners on a recent podcast that Theo Von’s behavior since starting SSRIs worried him, citing comments about suicide that he said rattled him.
- Rogan recounted a Netflix taping he said was shelved after Von bombed, claiming Von told the crowd he was trying not to take his own life.
- Rogan also dismissed the chemical-imbalance idea for depression and said SSRIs can numb people, a stance doctors caution can discourage treatments that help many.
- Theo Von responded on X by calling the claims mostly cap and said he is doing great, pushing back on the picture of a friend in crisis.
- The public back-and-forth revived an earlier tense JRE episode where Von grew emotional, and it set off fresh debate over privacy, responsibility, and mental-health talk online.
