On @awakepod registered psychotherapist, Malini Ondrovcik🇨🇦, reflects on #PSSD sufferers being discredited by medical doctors. Patients are then "dumped on psychologists and psychotherapists."

On Professor Peter Gøtzsche's new podcast, @brokenmedics, @PGtzsche1 discusses #PSSD, an understudied persistent adverse effect of commonly prescribed #SSRI and #SNRI antidepressants.
Thank you, @michaeljknowles, for mentioning #PSSD on your show and featuring our explainer video.
The @US_FDA still does not acknowledge the fact that sexual side effects can persist after discontinuing #SRI medication, despite @EMA_News and @GovCanHealth doing so.
Have you ever heard of PSSD?
Don't worry most people haven't.
But 8 million people in the UK alone are on anti-depressants and can develop this devastating complication.

Today is #WorldPatientSafetyDay.
Currently, there is no way to gauge an individual’s risk of developing #PSSD from SRIs.
@wdpsychiatry explains why in his interview with @sometherapist. More should be done to mitigate this risk and improve informed consent.
In a new video from @lotuseaters_com titled 'The Dark Side of SSRIs', @freyaindiaa discusses Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction with @Con_Tomlinson.
Thank you for addressing #PSSD and promoting wider discussion.

Today is #SuicidePreventionDay.
#PSSD and antidepressant-induced persistent anhedonia has unfortunately pushed too many people to take their own life.
Most patients still aren't warned of this devastating possibility.

New study shows children who were exposed to SSRIs in utero had significant brain changes (see Figure below.)
The authors write: "Prenatal SSRI exposure was associated with reduced global gray & white matter volume in children from 7 to 15 years of age."

@amandajodeh @wdpsychiatry And when you get PSSD your emotions can be totally annihilated without a reason, and permanently. No one can treat you and no one cares.. that's modern days psychiatry
Listening to my friends plans, excitement, hopes and dreams for the future is so bittersweet.
My friends are literally my family, I love them to the ends of the earth, but it’s a painful reminder of the best parts of life that I’ll most likely never be a part of.
#PSSD 💔
I’m now dedicating my life to awareness, advocacy and research into PSSD. I’ll do whatever I can to ensure that no one else has to experience the pain and suffering that myself (and many others) have had to endure. PSSD is not a life, it’s an eternal prison sentence of your soul.
"You can't consent to lose something you haven't developed yet."
Yassie Pirani discusses the "soul wound" that is #PSSD with @wdpsychiatry. Children are prescribed antidepressant medication, that can permanently alter their sexuality.

@benzosarebad@KellyMartin02@HenryRunamucker@jill_d35 @RayannaScoville She says similar things about PSSD too. She blocked me even though I’ve never engaged with her. They see everything as binary; life & death etc, but don’t see in between: quality of life & ability to experience it. Existing post-treatment is not the same thing as living.
Let's share our history, what has happened to us and who and what has caused it. Let's speak up and step up to get this iatrogenic harm recognized and investigated.
THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF MY STORY.

Tonight on 4 Corners the ABC ran a brilliant piece on the dangers of SSRI antidepressants produced by the BBC. That is great BUT over the last few years the ABC has refused to cover Australian evidence of harms of antidepressant use in Australia. (1 of 2) https://t.co/EOyptbhHIB
