"Given the widespread prescription of antidepressants, it is likely that PSSD remains significantly underreported and underrecognized. Many participants reported reluctance to discuss sexual symptoms with their healthcare providers, which may contribute to low detection rates."

"Since withdrawal too, my upper leg and genital area went extremely numb. I feel like I’ve been neutered by my own medical system and this is completely unforgivable." -Cal, PSSD sufferer of 9 months
