Shrinking socialists: AOC spends $19K on psychiatrist known for ketamine therapy https://t.co/EReLloVtlu pic.twitter.com/gaLxNqoLKA

She’s trippin’.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spent nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year on a shrink who specializes in controversial ketamine therapy.

The socialist lawmaker hired Boston-based Dr. Brian Boyle, the chief psychiatric officer at Stella, a chain of mental health clinics focusing on “novel” therapies popular with Hollywood and Wall Street. Her campaign paid Boyle $11,550 in March 2025, another $2,800 in May, and $4,375 in October for a total of $18,725, Federal Election Commission records  show. The expenses were marked as “leadership training and consulting.” 

It’s unclear what the sessions consisted of or who participated. Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment.

Boyle, a Harvard-trained doctor, calls himself an “interventional psychiatrist” and specializes in unorthodox methods for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD and anxiety.

He’s considered a “leading authority” on ketamine, the controversial horse tranquilizer given to “Friends” star Matthew Perry in the month leading up to his tragic death.

That’s a whole lot of consulting.

Probably.

Millennials who can’t cope with life discovered that you can show up to work high as long as you pretend its medicine. https://t.co/Gb1ArXvWxI

Weed, ketamine, caffeine … all the ways to self-medicate.

Wow I spend nothing on mine because I went to someone in-network. AOC is an absolute retard. https://t.co/Xar6MFeg6m

Doesn’t Congress have good insurance?

If you want some idea of how far America has fallen, a member of Congress is spending more on designer therapy than she was earning annually before becoming a member of Congress. https://t.co/RpSUy6U5Z0

True that.

That seems appropriate.

She wasted her money then because it hasn’t helped a bit

Of course you need mental help if you’re a socialist. This isn’t surprising.

It’s going to take many, many hours of therapy to fix that particular political party.
