PSSD- Losing Your Sexuality to Antidepressants, After You Quit the Meds

Embark on a crucial journey with our team of passionate advocates – a registered social worker, a certified holistic sexuality educator, and a dedicated researcher – as we delve into the often-overlooked world of Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD).




What is PSSD?

PSSD is a distressing multidimensional iatrogenic condition resulting in the loss of sexuality as well as cognitive and other physical and mental impacts. For some, symptoms arise during medication use, while for others, they commence upon discontinuation. Unfortunately, in many cases, sexual function does not return to normal, impacting individuals for years or indefinitely.




Why This Webinar?

Our collective personal experiences with PSSD have ignited a mission to raise awareness, not against antidepressants, but to ensure prescribers and patients alike are fully informed about the potentially irreversible effects on sexual functioning. We believe in empowering individuals with knowledge to make informed decisions about their health.




Key Discussion Points:

Multifaceted Impacts: Explore the multidimensional consequences of PSSD on individuals' lives, relationships, and overall well-being.

Under-Reported Syndrome: Discussion of the under-researched and under-reported nature of PSSD within medicine and the general public.

Long-term Risks: Discussing the poor awareness surrounding the long-term potential adverse effects of SSRIs and SNRIs, emphasizing the need for informed consent.




Who Should Watch?

]This webinar is a must-watch for healthcare professionals, individuals considering or currently using SSRIs or SNRIs, and anyone interested in understanding the nuanced aspects of mental health treatments and their potential impacts.

 

 

 

 

It's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place – dealing with the original issue and then finding yourself battling new challenges post-medication. It's a reminder of the intricate dance our bodies do with medication, sometimes leaving unexpected footprints long after we've stopped taking them.

As for my take on this, it's a stark reminder of the importance of informed decision-making when it comes to medication. While antidepressants can be life-changing for many, it's crucial to weigh the potential risks and benefits, especially considering the long-term effects they might have.
