@dr.matthew.parker: SSRIs can be really effective for depression and anxiety, but sexual side effects are one of the more common reasons people don't love them. And there's some interesting neuroscience behind why this happens. Serotonin doesn't just affect mood—it interacts with dopamine and several of the pathways involved in sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm. The good news is that not all antidepressants have the same risk of sexual side effects, and there are often ways to address it if it happens. So if your antidepressant is working but your libido has basically disappeared…don't just stop taking it. Talk to your prescriber. There are options. #MentalHealth #psychiatry #depression #MentalHealthAwareness #sexualhealth

PSSD is a fate worse than hell - it's so so much worse than the name suggests.. you lose your sexuality true but it also totally destroys your ability to feel normal human emotions, permanently. people and providers really don't understand the horror of this condition, totally misunderstanding the severity. see @Moral Medicine and @PSSD Network for interviews with people who have been afflicted with this horrible evil condition. some of them are now no longer with us because of what these drugs did to them. it's a scandal that finally people are speaking up about. it's long long overdue.
