By Morten SkovPublished Updated

Nick shares his experience with Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) after taking a commonly prescribed SSRI. He currently suffers from severe emotional and genital anhedonia, which has had a devastating impact on his life.

PSSD is a rare condition characterized by persistent physical, neurological, and sexual side effects that continue even after discontinuing SSRIs. This syndrome can lead to significant disability, social isolation, and, in severe cases, suicide.

PSSD not only affects the individual but also has a profound impact on their families and friends. It is essential that everyone has access to complete information to make informed health decisions.
