Vanderbilt senior Lauren Friedman (@lololizzle) recently spoke at the MAHA Mental Health & Overmedicalization Summit about living with Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD). Her testimony highlighted the urgent need for recognition, research, and treatment for the condition.
"The leaflet will explain more clearly that sexual problems can still occur after the medicine has been stopped."
Pharmacist Raj Patel (@therajrpatel) released a video about the recent changes that the MHRA (@MHRAgovuk) made to the warnings on antidepressants.

Here is some important news about the UK drug regulator finally acknowledging that "antidepressants" cause Post SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) and suicidality and homicidality on them is not limited to children and young adults. rxisk.org/mhra-announces-new…

Last year, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) announced an expert review into #antidepressants, driven by patient concerns. The review is now concluded.
During the review, patients and their families worked with the MHRA to share their concerns—the outcome was to strengthen existing warnings relating to suicidal thoughts and behaviours, and persistent sexual dysfunction after stopping antidepressants.
Post SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (#PSSD) is acknowledged in the wording.
(1/3) We just received a response to a freedom of information request made to the European Medicines Agency (EMA). There are 196 cases in the European Economic Area (EEA) of ‘post-SSRI sexual dysfunction’ that use the MedDRA code 10086208.
(2/3) The total in the EudraVigilance European Database of Suspected Adverse Drug Reaction Reports, including cases outside the EEA, is even larger. There are 493 cases of ‘post-SSRI sexual dysfunction’ that use the MedDRA code 10086208.
(3/3) This is the result from the last time we asked the EMA this question. At the time, we did not ask them to filter only for cases from EEA countries.

The UK is updating antidepressant warnings to recognize PSSD (post-SSRI sexual dysfunction) and acknowledge that sexual side effects can continue long after stopping treatment.
It's time for the FDA to follow suit.
But sadly this still isn't enough. These injuries extend far beyond sexual dysfunction, causing devastating, lasting cognitive and emotional impairments.
People deserve to be fully informed about what they are risking before making a decision that could potentially affect them for the rest of their lives. @PSSDNetwork
"We have animal studies that show that giving animals SSRIs causes persistent reduction in sexual activity, so there's no doubt that that effect is occurring."
@joannamoncrieff explains why she is convinced that PSSD is caused by drug effects rather than psychological problems.

"I think psychiatrists have been very slow to accept these problems, partly because I think they just can't bear to acknowledge that these very widely prescribed drugs that, you know, all psychiatrists have been prescribing for a long time can be so damaging."

We received a response to a freedom of information request made to Albania's National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices (AKBPM). There were no patients in Albania who reported PSSD, PFS, or PGAD using the correct MedDRA codes.

A step in the right direction for antidepressant labelling but informed consent is more than a list of warnings. More on how the updated MHRA guidance came about and what this means for patients. #PSSD #antidepressants #MHRA rxisk.org/mhra-announces-new…

Surreal to see the NIH Director @NIHDirector_Jay talking about PSSD—an injury long dismissed, with victims told by doctors their antidepressant induced harm wasn’t real.
For years it was relegated to Reddit forums and hidden corners of the internet: an abandoned community of devastated lives desperately seeking answers, with no one listening.
These are real people unjustly left to suffer, stripped of fundamental parts of their humanity. We cannot leave them behind. We urgently need research into the underlying mechanisms and a path toward recovery. #pssd @PSSDNetwork @elliotbewick @lololizzle
"I think talking about these drugs causing injury is not unreasonable because of the length of time that the symptoms go on."
Finnish therapist @TuominenPiia asks Professor @joannamoncrieff if “injury” is an appropriate term for long-lasting antidepressant harms.
