The Guardian: ‘It Feels Like We’ve Been Lobotomised’: The Possible Sexual Consequences of SSRIs

The article “It feels like we’ve been lobotomized” by David Cox narrates the horrific experience that some patients are being put through after stopping their antidepressants. PSSD (Post SSRI Sexual Dysfunction) has taken a huge toll on the lives of those suffering, and the symptoms that sufferers endure have made life feel impossible. The article highlights the fact that research is being self-funded by PSSD victims rather than the companies responsible for causing the problem. A PSSD sufferer within the article explains the dismissal and lack of acknowledgement by the medical industry, stating that harmed patients are being mocked and ridiculed. Researchers are still puzzled over the cause of PSSD, prompting the urgency of more research funding.
