Andy's 13 Year Battle with PSSD
from Moral Medicine Hosted by Mark Millich
In this powerful video, Andy shares his harrowing experience of living with Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) after being prescribed Citalopram at the age of 23. He opens up about the severe and persistent side effects (which go far beyond just sexual dysfunction) he has endured for over the last 13 years, the challenges of getting proper medical acknowledgment, and the emotional toll it has taken on his life. 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. More research into Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction is desperately needed.
