PSSD: Is Intimacy Lost After Antidepressants?

For many men, the journey with antidepressants can lead to an unexpected, profound challenge: Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction, or PSSD. This condition, often overlooked, means severe sexual changes persist long after stopping medication. Dr. Judson Brandeis understands the critical need for awareness, especially for men aged 30-65+ seeking to understand their health, energy, and confidence. PSSD is a recognized medical condition, an iatrogenic syndrome caused by certain antidepressants. Key distinguishing features include 'genital anesthesia'—a profound loss of sensation—along with erectile dysfunction and anhedonic orgasm, where pleasure is absent. Understanding PSSD is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate guidance. If you've experienced persistent numbness or a loss of pleasure in the genitals after antidepressant use, it's vital to discuss PSSD with your physician. While there's no definitive cure currently, exploring the landscape of men's wellness can empower you with knowledge.
