The Telegraph: ‘I couldn’t orgasm’— Why antidepressants could ruin your sex life

The article “I couldn’t orgasm: Why anti-depressants could ruin your sex life” by Gwyneth Rees speaks out about sexual dysfunction on antidepressants and persisting sexual dysfunction (PSSD), and gives a sufferer the spotlight to share their story about how PSSD ruined their life. The article also points to PSSD as a hidden long-term risk, since the FDA lawsuit is also mentioned. As the article concludes, patients share their experience of gaslighting and how it added distress onto this already distressing condition. The author eventually states that she would never go back on antidepressants after finding out this information.
