Many Kennedys say they\u2019re mortified by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., their wayward relative running the nation\u2019s health agency under President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

His siblings say he has betrayed the family\u2019s values. Jack Schlossberg, his cousin running for Congress, called him a \u201crabid dog.\u201d Schlossberg\u2019s late sister, Tatiana, attacked his policies in a scathing essay<\/u><\/span> about her terminal leukemia.<\/p>\n

But if Patrick Kennedy shares any of their scorn about his cousin, he\u2019s not admitting it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Bobby,\u201d the former Rhode Island congressman said in an interview with NOTUS. \u201cI\u2019m not going to sit and try to just make a laundry list of things that I disagree with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patrick Kennedy has spent decades working to improve Americans\u2019 access to mental health care. And he says that, in this moment, the best path to achieving that is by bridging the chasm between the health secretary \u2014 who traced an addiction and recovery path two decades before he did \u2014 and the medical mainstream.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Bobby will] be the first to tell you, Patrick\u2019s on my ass,\u201d he said, laughing.<\/p>\n

The relationship between the pair represents the promise and tension of an RFK Jr. approach to mental health in a nation where 1 in 6 is on antidepressants, yet many seriously mentally ill people struggle to access antipsychotic medications that could help keep them off the streets.<\/p>\n

The secretary is vividly candid about his own struggles \u2014 recently describing having previously snorted cocaine off toilet seats \u2014 and he\u2019s coleading a White House initiative aimed at responding to the nation\u2019s substance abuse crisis.<\/p>\n

Yet his Department of Health and Human Services is overseeing changes to Medicaid, the nation\u2019s largest payer of mental health services, that could cause millions to lose their coverage. Trump\u2019s DOGE made deep staff cuts to the agency\u2019s mental health office. And RFK Jr.\u2019s rhetoric on antidepressant drugs has raised ire among leading medical associations that say they\u2019re worried he might deter patients who need such medications from using them.<\/p>\n

Patrick Kennedy acknowledged he has \u201csharp disagreements on a lot of stuff\u201d coming from the administration. He\u2019s deeply bothered by the Medicaid cuts. When asked about RFK Jr.\u2019s suggestion last year that SSRIs and psychiatric drugs could contribute to violent behavior, Patrick Kennedy said he wants to \u201cchange how [Bobby] communicates that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Yet the cousins who are 13 years apart in age have walked similar paths in life. Both started using alcohol and illicit drugs as young teenagers. Both suffered mishaps that catalyzed their eventual recoveries \u2014 RFK Jr.\u2019s 1983 arrest and Patrick Kennedy\u2019s 2006 car crash<\/u><\/span> into a security barrier near the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n

They both attended 12-step programs. Patrick Kennedy said they have occasionally found themselves at the same recovery meeting without planning it ahead of time. Their summer homes in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, share a property line.<\/p>\n

Robert was the only family member to publicly praise his 2016 book on his addiction and bipolar disorder, Patrick Kennedy recalled.<\/p>\n

When RFK Jr. asked Patrick Kennedy to endorse him for president in 2024, he declined. But Patrick Kennedy says he has warm personal feelings for his cousin, describing him as a huge support as he tried to get into recovery, and a listening ear who wouldn\u2019t take offense at the former lawmaker\u2019s candid thoughts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was hard to say much to anybody that didn\u2019t sound like it was being judgmental and mean and negative,\u201d Patrick Kennedy recalled. \u201cI could say it to him. It wasn\u2019t going to go anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

He wouldn\u2019t say how often the two talk, only that the cadence \u201cvaries.\u201d He said he \u201cgot a very nice message\u201d from the secretary after speaking at an HHS mental health roundtable in April.<\/p>\n

Chuck Ingoglia, president of the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, said Patrick Kennedy is \u201ctrying to do the right thing\u201d but knows little about the Kennedys\u2019 interactions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how much access he really has to his cousin,\u201d Ingoglia said.<\/p>\n

Another cousin, Joe Kennedy III, also advocated for mental health while serving in Congress. Yet he has taken a different tack than Patrick, calling the secretary a \u201cthreat to the health and well-being of every American\u201d in Senate testimony last year. Joe Kennedy didn\u2019t return repeated phone calls. RFK Jr. also did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Patrick Kennedy is choosing to peer at his cousin through a different lens.<\/p>\n

He insists he\u2019s filling a \u201cvacuum\u201d created by what he describes as a reluctance of the mental health community \u2014 largely acknowledged to be dominated by liberals \u2014 to engage with a health secretary in the Trump administration. He said he doesn\u2019t know who else has \u201cthat kind of access to a guy that\u2019s going to end up directing a lot of policies.\u201d<\/p>\n

To be sure, Patrick Kennedy didn\u2019t need a family member for access to an administration. He\u2019s widely recognized as a leading champion of mental health and was appointed to a presidential commission on opioid addiction during Trump\u2019s first term. He has routed his advocacy through the Kennedy Forum, which he founded in 2013, two years after leaving Congress.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHe has a long track record of being able to gain access with both parties,\u201d said Tim Clement, vice president of federal government affairs at Mental Health America, who used to work for the Kennedy Forum.<\/p>\n

That approach is apparent when Patrick talks about his cousin\u2019s Make America Healthy Again movement \u2014 which he jokes should include \u201cMAMHA\u201d \u2014 Make America Mentally Healthy Again. The MAHA movement is consistent with what a good progressive should stand for, Patrick Kennedy said, and added that his cousin deserves credit for starting a national conversation about nutrition and the food industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think we would be having that conversation if it weren\u2019t for the kind of provocative nature of this administration, and particularly the secretary\u2019s comments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Yet the degree to which Patrick Kennedy is giving the benefit of the doubt to his cousin has surprised some mental health advocates.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration scrapped a Biden administration rule he\u2019d heavily advocated for. That rule compelled insurance companies to comply with a 2006 law he\u2019d spearheaded known as mental health parity, which requires insurers to cover mental health services the same as medical health services. Insurers had sued over the Biden rule, saying it was too opaque.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s confounding because, rightfully so, Patrick will say he\u2019s the father of parity,\u201d said one mental health advocate who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly. \u201cThis kind of about-face of \u2018It\u2019s okay\u2019 is really kind of shocking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patrick Kennedy said during two meetings last year with Trump adviser Theo Merkel \u2014 the first facilitated by his cousin \u2014 he was convinced that many of the now-dead regulation\u2019s goals would be accomplished by Trump\u2019s executive order on health care transparency.<\/p>\n

He lends a similarly sympathetic tone to the administration on two other flashpoints: the question of whether antidepressants are overprescribed and addictive, and whether the most severely mentally ill people should be involuntarily committed for treatment.<\/p>\n

RFK Jr. described stopping antidepressants as harder than quitting heroin \u2014 a recovery road he\u2019s traveled multiple times. He made the comparison at a May 4 forum where he announced regulatory changes to encourage doctors to prescribe antidepressants less often and give patients more instruction on how to taper off them. Before he spoke, a panel of patients told horrifying stories of severe struggles to get off SSRIs and benzodiazepines that left them reeling from harsh side effects for years.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The secretary stressed he wasn\u2019t telling people to stop taking medications they\u2019d already been prescribed \u2014 but the changes alarmed some mental health groups who worried aloud that such guidance could scare people who need medications from taking them. Hannah Wesolowski, chief advocacy officer for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, noted the panel didn\u2019t include anyone speaking about how an SSRI saved their life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big fear for us is it causes more fear around the use of medication,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Patrick Kennedy insists his cousin recognizes the value of medications in treatment \u2014 but uses rhetoric to make his points stick.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that in politics you make sweeping statements \u2026 in order to have the message penetrate,\u201d he said. \u201cWhich is: We have overmedicalized, overprescribed.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also sympathetic to the idea of involuntary treatment for the severely mentally ill \u2014 an anathema to liberals but something the Trump administration is pushing as a salve to the nation\u2019s homelessness problem.<\/p>\n

He stressed he\u2019s for harm-reduction policies \u2014 needle exchanges, for example \u2014 but thinks Democrats have gone too far in pushing supervised consumption sites, which he compared to an \u201copen air shooting gallery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI default to being out in the country in a \u2018recovery farm,\u2019 as Bobby has been raked over the coals for,\u201d he said, referring to the healing farms RFK Jr. has touted, where people seek recovery from addiction.<\/p>\n

Patrick Kennedy insists the health secretary hasn\u2019t affected the Kennedy family\u2019s reputation \u201cone iota.\u201d But engaging with RFK Jr. has \u201cpretty much killed\u201d his political bonafides, Patrick Kennedy noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would not be able to run for office and probably survive a Democratic primary,\u201d he said, \u201cwith all the work that I\u2019ve done with the secretary.\u201d<\/p>\n
