For National Adverse Event Day, an initiative set up by @AmSocietyPharm, I've created the following:
A raw, heart-shattering ballad about a mother's desperate attempt to help her struggling daughter — only for prescribed antidepressants to lead to unimaginable tragedy. Written from the depths of regret and loss, this original song explores the pain of "help" that harms, the silence after goodbye, and the weight of what could have been.
It's a bit of a tear-jerker.
This is for all the parents out there whose child's life was taken by the very medication meant to save them.

Help Us Raise Awareness of the #ThirdCause
Adverse drug events—injuries caused by medications—have been estimated to rank among the leading causes of death in the United States. Yet many of these events are preventable.
On March 24, we will mark National Adverse Drug Event Awareness Day by launching the #ThirdCause awareness campaign to highlight the urgent need to reduce preventable medication harm.
In one year, the U.S. spends an estimated $528 billion on non-optimized
medications, exceeding the cost of the drugs themselves—and the cost
of all major diseases. @AnnalsofPharm#thirdcause
National Adverse Drug Event (A.D.E.) Awareness Day is Tue, Mar 24, 2026. Please help raise #awareness for this important issue, especially since A.D.E.s are now the 3rd leading cause of 🪦 in the U.S., but last year they were the 4th.
#adeawareness#thirdcause#awarenessday
In one year, the number of adverse drug events went from being the 4th leading cause of 🪦in the U.S. to the 3rd!!!!

Would you consider recording a brief PSA for National Adverse Drug Event Awareness Day (March 24)?
Medication harm is often preventable & awareness makes a difference. #ThirdCause
What if every one of us asked ONE public voice to speak up about preventable medication harm?
For National Adverse Drug Event (ADE) Awareness Day (March 24), tag someone you admire and invite them to share a short PSA.
10 seconds of outreach. A lifetime of impact.
