Thanks a lot to everyone who is brave to show their face and speaks publicly about #PSSD. I am glad to see that this video covers also the emotional numbness as PSSD can be so much more than the loss of sexuality. The emotional symptoms ruin every aspect of my life.

Thank you! It's so much more than sexual dysfunction. Hope it leads to more recognition and a cure.

Thank you to all of the brave souls who contributed to this video. Patients shouldn’t have to fight to be kept safe. There is something very corrupt in a world where this is necessary.

My entire SSRI series in one video. What doctors never tell you about SSRI withdrawal. Chris Masterjohn, PhD, Founder and Scientific Director of explains why SSRI withdrawal is mitochondrial dysfunction and what to do about it. This is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. 29 million Americans and about 5-10% of the world's population are on SSRIs, which have become the first-line treatment of depression. These can cause sexual dysfunction and emotional blunting in up to half of people, an unclear incidence of sleep disruption, and a rare risk of suicidality, self-harm, and new-onset psychosis. On the other hand, 20-50% of people who go off experience SSRI discontinuation syndrome. This can involve irritability, anxiety, mood problems, crying, dread, suicidal ideation, insomnia, nightmares, excessive dreaming, lethargy, fatigue, headache, tremor, sweating, anorexia, flu-like symptoms, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pain, numbness, tingling, feeling like something is crawling on the skin, electric shocks running through the brain or body, rushing noises, visual traces (seeing something persist when it is no longer there, or seeing moving objects leaving illusory streaks of light behind them, etc), dizziness, light-headedness, "brain zaps," vertigo, confusion, difficulty concentrating, amnesia, genital hypersensitivity, and premature ejaculation. A closely related problem is post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD), which can cause total inability to feel the penis for males or for females the genitals and nipples, loss of sexual pleasure, weak orgasms, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation. PSSD is often associated with general anhedonia, apathy, and poor mood. In this video, I maintain that the reason there are no good solutions to these problems is because we have completely misunderstood the role of serotonin and SSRIs. Serotonin's role is to help mitochondria adapt to changing demands for oxygen-based energy production. SSRIs enhance some of the mechanisms, and interfere with others. They enter the cell and stimulate independent mechanisms of mitochondrial stress adaptation, but in doing so they turn a cyclical and rhythmic pathway into a constantly stimulated one, creating mitochondrial dependence and making mitochondria vulnerable to new-onset dysfunction upon withdrawal. Once they make it to the mitochondria itself, the SSRIs act as mitochondrial toxins. Scientific references for everything can be found in the series on my web site. 0:30 SSRI Side Effects 1:00 SSRI Discontinuation Syndrome and PSSD 11:33 The Problem With Primary Care Doctors and Psychiatrists 14:56 The Reason We Don’t Have Good Solutions Is Because We Don’t Understand the Problem 16:22 Prozac Is a Performance-Enhancing Drug 18:40 Depression and Altitude 19:36 The Truth About Serotonin 25:10 How Serotonin Helps Us Breathe 30:05 Hypoxia Explains Why Serotonin Is So Abundant In the Gut 33:55 Serotonin, Melatonin, and the Mitochondria 35:50 Serotonin and Light 39:25 Intermittent Hypobaric Hypoxia Training 42:56 SSRIs Are Whole-Body, Primarily Non-Brain, Non-Neuronal, Mitochondrial Drugs 44:00 SSRIs and Birth Defects 46:37 SSRIs Deplete Serotonin 48:50 SSRIs Distort the Sigma-1 Receptor From a Cyclical to a Constant Activation 51:10 Different SSRIs Promote Different Ratios of Mitophagy and Mitochondrial Biogenesis 54:00 Going Off SSRIs Causes New-Onset Mitochondrial Dysfunction 58:30 Slow and Parabolic Tapers 1:02:10 What to Do About SSRI Withdrawal Mitochondrial Dysfunction Do You Have Hidden Mitochondrial Dysfunction?

Beyond the Label: The Lifelong Sexual and Emotional Damage Linked to SSRIs. The greatest medical scandal of our generation is unfolding in silence, and its victims are the young, the vulnerable, and the trusting. A devastating condition the pharmaceutical industry hopes you never learn about is Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD). This is not a temporary side effect; it is a permanent, life-altering injury occurring in countless individuals, long after they have stopped taking antidepressant medication. Currently in communication with a 23-year-old woman from Vanderbilt University, whose life has been irrevocably damaged. Her story is one of total genital numbness and physical atrophy—a tangible, visible change to her body. The most heartbreaking part? She can no longer feel fundamental human emotions like love. These drugs have not only stolen her sexuality but have severed her connection to the very emotions that define the human experience. This is not an isolated case. It is an epidemic. A single Reddit support group for PSSD sufferers has over 13,000 members. It is a digital tomb filled with the stories of young people whose lives have been permanently ruined. They are not "just depressed." They are chemically castrated and emotionally blunted by the very treatment that was supposed to help them. The science confirms this is not "in their heads." Groundbreaking research by Dr. Irwin Goldstein found actual physical damage in the tissue of young men with PSSD. Their tissue was equivalent to that of a man in his 70s or older. This is tangible, biological destruction. The scope of this catastrophe is staggering. With an estimated 1 in 6 people on antidepressants, how many are silently suffering this fate? Desperate for relief, victims are turning to dangerous, experimental treatments out of sheer hopelessness. The stance here is unequivocal: these drugs are poison. We have witnessed friendships end and cognitive decline in people in their early 30s, which we attribute directly to these medications. This is a clarion call. The cover-up for monetary gain must end. The millions in profit must not be allowed to silence the thousands of lives destroyed. The world needs to hear the victims' stories. Their voices will break the silence. Stay tuned. Their stories will be heard.

Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring Exposes the Hidden Scandal Behind SSRIs and Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction A growing medical scandal may be one of the most underreported stories of our time. Psychiatrist Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring has raised the alarm over a devastating condition linked to antidepressants known as Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD)—a permanent form of sexual, emotional, and cognitive blunting that persists even after stopping the medication. According to Witt-Doerring, roughly 70% of SSRI users experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, loss of libido, and muted pleasure. But the real tragedy emerges for the estimated 1 in 216 who never recover. These patients describe genital anesthesia, total loss of erogenous sensation, emotional numbness, and brain fog so severe it feels like being “lobotomized.” Witt-Doerring calls it a betrayal of medical trust. Regulators in Europe, Canada, Australia, and Hong Kong have already updated drug labels to warn about this risk—yet the U.S. FDA has refused to act, despite receiving the same scientific dossier over six years ago. A citizen’s petition demanding a warning label was filed in 2018. The FDA ignored it. When advocates sued, the agency dismissed the case on a technicality. Meanwhile, millions of Americans continue taking these drugs without informed consent about potentially permanent side effects. Dr. Witt-Doerring believes the silence is deliberate: “The FDA is protecting pharmaceutical interests, not the public.” He remains hopeful that under President Trump’s administration and Secretary Kennedy’s leadership, long-suppressed issues like PSSD will finally be addressed. Both conservative and liberal media now appear to be turning on Big Pharma’s psychiatric establishment—signaling what could be a historic reckoning. The question remains: How many lives have to be quietly ruined before U.S. regulators admit what the rest of the world already has?
