Prozac is one of the antidepressants that Bonne and other rabbis have prescribed to yeshiva students, not because they are depressed but because such drugs have the well-known side effect of lowering libido. Bonne believes, as reported in 2012 by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, that these sexual desires put conservative Jews 'in conflict with their values and cause them mental problems, even to the point of depression'. In the face of societal stigma and the frustration of betraying one's religious values, he thinks it only humane to do what is necessary to soothe these urges and make life easier.
