PSSD Network Podcast: How it feels to live with PSSD

Summary

In this podcast, a group shares their experiences with Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD), a condition where individuals face persistent sexual side effects and other side effects after taking or discontinuing certain antidepressants.

One sufferer introduces the discussion by highlighting the lack of open conversations about PSSD and the importance of raising awareness. The group comprises individuals from different parts of the world, all in their twenties, who found each other online due to their shared struggles with PSSD. Each member recounts their unique journey. They discuss how PSSD has significantly impacted their lives, hindering emotional connections, relationships, and personal development. The group agrees that the loss of sexual function and emotional range has taken a toll on their overall well-being. Throughout the conversation, they emphasise the need for increased awareness and research on PSSD, sharing personal stories to shed light on this often-overlooked condition.

Despite the challenges they face, they remain determined to advocate for recognition and support for those suffering from PSSD.
