Thank you!

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.

Evidence suggests that SSRIs, a class of antidepressants, can cause PERMANENT damage to sexual function, says leading sexual medicine physician Dr. Irwin Goldstein San Diego Sexual Med. "It's an awful condition. It persists, causes frustration, embarrassment, humiliation," Dr. Goldstein says. Yet most patients aren't aware of this risk when they first get on SSRIs.

“I have no sensation in my genitals. My clitoris is completely numb.” Lauren Friedman, 23, shared her devastating experience with PSSD (Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction) — permanent loss of libido, sensation, and ability to orgasm after taking antidepressants. Chris Williamson and Isabel Brown reacted with shock, noting how little mainstream coverage this issue receives. Sexual side effects from SSRIs affect 50-70% of users. For a subset of people, these effects (including genital numbness and anorgasmia) persist long after discontinuation, a condition known as Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD). The exact prevalence is unknown, but patient reports and emerging research suggest it may be under-recognized. People deserve full informed consent about potential long-term risks before starting these medications. What do you think, should PSSD get more public and medical attention?

🚨Many people prescribed SSRI antidepressants don’t realize that they can cause irreversible damage to sexual function, says leading sexual medicine clinician Dr. Irwin Goldstein San Diego Sexual Med. “SSRIs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, are one of the most widely prescribed medications in the United States…The problem is they are recognized to raise serotonin—that's their mechanism—but serotonin is an inhibitor of sexual function. While using the medication, it's widely appreciated that individuals will suffer sexual health concerns. But…when they stop the medicine, the usual teaching is that everyone returns to their pre-medication sexual function. And that's not what we're seeing in our sexual health clinic here. The name of the condition is post-SSRI sexual dysfunction, or PSSD, and it's an awful condition. It persists, causes frustration, embarrassment, humiliation. It causes erectile dysfunction in young men, libido problems, genital sensation changes, orgasmic dysfunction.”

Joe Rogan dropped a side effect of Ozempic that doesn’t get much airtime: some people say it dulls more than appetite, it can flatten the feeling of being in love and the ability to enjoy much of anything. Then he brought up SSRIs. A woman (Lauren Friedman) publicly described permanent genital numbness and loss of orgasm that continued after she stopped the drug. Marcus King didn’t hold back: that’s messed up. Sexual dysfunction is one of the most common SSRI side effects, and in a subset of people it can persist as post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD). The mechanisms are still being studied, but the reports are real. Two widely prescribed tools, two under-discussed costs.

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.

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?

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.
