METRO: My antidepressants left me with no feelings in my genitals
The article “My antidepressants left me with no feelings in my genitals” by Alice Giddings shares the story of a PSSD sufferer who describes how her life was turned upside down. The victim experiences suicidal thoughts on a daily basis due to the tragedy caused by this harrowing condition. Within the article, Eli Lilly, a pharmaceutical company, is asked about PSSD and it seems as if they dodged the question, similar to their response in a previous article from The Guardian.
Dr. David Healy who was interviewed states that 20 people were confirmed to have taken their lives due to PSSD within the past 2 years. Overall, it is imperative that pharmaceutical companies help fund research to accelerate treatments for PSSD. The article also includes Tiktok videos from the PSSD Network page, illustrating sufferers’ experiences.
