Affecting individuals long after they have stopped taking antidepressants, Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) is a distressing and complex condition that is slowly gaining more recognition within the medical community. It is characterized by persistent sexual symptoms that continue for months, years, or indefinitely, even after discontinuing Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) or other serotonergic antidepressants. While initial sexual side effects from these medications are common and usually resolve, PSSD represents a permanent or long-lasting form of sexual dysfunction.
