| As an example, Hunter Whitley is a 23-year-old former Marine. | |
| He was at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan during the withdrawal. | |
| He'd suffered a minor TBI during the bombing there. | |
| Wound up at the University of Alabama, was a student veteran going to school full-time there, and then is also volunteering at the mental health clinic on campus, a VA mental health clinic on campus. | |
| The program that I built was focused on helping veterans on college campuses access VA mental health care. | |
| And so Hunter took his own life about two and a half years ago. | |
| And the program that I built is basically what became of that clinic, which was to help get vets into care. | |
| And Hunter was prescribed an antidepressant, mirtazepine, along with hydroxazine. | |
| And a month and a half later, he was dead. | |
| And the VA did an investigation into his death and found that they failed to provide informed consent, failed to provide safe medication management. | |
| My friend Brian and Kim Brumfield, we were with last night, along with Shannon, they lost their son Connor, 22 years old. | |
| Both of these young men had fit cleanly within the box warning by the FDA. | |
| But in both cases, it seems neither had been provided informed consent. |
