Evie: Can Antidepressants Make You Permanently Asexual?

The article “Can Antidepressants Make You Permanently Asexual?” by Olivia Flint describes the rise in Asexuality via Tiktok, and how some young women are proudly proclaiming their Asexuality. Olivia makes a link to the antidepressants that Gen Z has been using since their childhoods, which could cause PSSD after getting off the drugs as an adult. PSSD sufferers often describe the loss of romantic feelings as Asexuality because they can no longer find attraction to others. Olivia also states that there has been a rise in influencers telling young people that there is nothing wrong with being Asexual, however there is a fear that some who identify as such might be suffering from PSSD, which needs to be addressed.
