Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) is the current term for a rare syndrome characterized by devastating physical, neurological, and sexual side effects that persist and progress even after stopping SSRIs.
PSSD has a disastrous impact on patients, their families, and their friends. It often leads to disability, isolation, and even suicide. Every person is valuable, and everyone deserves to make a fully informed choice about their health.
