What’s the one ‘disorder’ you think is total nonsense?

[Psychiatry_Survivor @Psychiatry_Anti]

Psychiatric drugs like SSRIs and benzos are prescribed daily, but how many patients are truly informed about the risks? Side effects and withdrawal are often buried in fine print or dismissed by prescribers. Informed consent is a right, not a privilege!

@WSJ Thanks for shedding light on this. Very important issue that needs more attention.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Hims, Keeps and other telehealth companies advertise hair-loss medication finasteride without warning about side effects, which can include sexual dysfunction, depression and suicidal behavior. Some young men got sick.

Most PSSD patients are young adults. Average PSSD sufferers are in their 20s which aligns with the juvenile toxicity studies from @EliLillyandCo and their rodent studies of Prozac.

This is Conall Gould.

Conall was an intelligent young man with a passion for sports. In the spring of 2013, he began taking Finasteride for hair loss. After starting and stopping the drug several times due to side effects, he eventually decided to come off it completely. It was only then that Conall's nightmare really began.

After cessation of Finasteride, he developed physical, sexual and cognitive problems that included brain fog, sleep paralysis, an inability to catch his breath, tinnitus, blurry vision, sexual dysfunction, and a myriad of other life changing symptoms. Due to the severe cognitive dysfunction, Conall was forced to discontinue his mathematics degree. He even struggled with simple tasks such as reading a book or watching TV.

Despite a previously happy and healthy life, and reporting a severe adverse drug reaction to the MHRA, he was told he had a "delusional disorder" when he sought medical support. Conall was prescribed psychological drugs that only worsened his symptoms.

Conall expressed the pain of the loss of his abilities to his mom at one point, telling her, "Mom, I could've been so much...I could've done so much..."

After years battling for improvement, he took his own life at age 21 in 2017. Conall is survived by his loving parents and five younger sisters. Due to troubling inaccuracies in his medical records, they are fighting for justice for Conall and worldwide awareness of the dangers posed by Finasteride to young men.

"PSSD is like chemical castration" @ROSIE_PSSD

PSSD is a disabling and irreversible "side effect" of SSRIs, you know, one of the most commonly prescribed anti-depressants.
13% of US adults, almost 25% of Scottish adults and 15% adults in England
