Photo awareness Campaign
About the campaign
Participants are asked to take a picture of themselves while holding up a sheet of paper. The format of how the content should be written on this sheet of paper is described in the instructions below.
It is very important for us, that we spread awareness of not only the sexual symptoms of PSSD. PSSD is more than just sexual dysfunction, we strongly encourage participants to write about their emotional as well as cognitive dysfunction (if applicable) in their statement.
Participants who are concerned about their privacy are can hide their face with the sheet of paper itself or with other accessories such as a face mask.
To participate, you have to either be a loved one of someone with PSSD, or a PSSD patient which has had PSSD-like symptoms for at least 3 months after discontinuing their antidepressant medication.
