At last this devastating effect of antidepressants is being recognised and included in official information. Lets hope more clinicians will now become aware of it and inform their patients about it
1/ THREAD The UK's Royal College of Psychiatrists (@rcpsych) recently updated their webpage for information about antidepressants to include some language about Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD). rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-health/…

Excellent article by neurologist Suzanne Sullivan on our medicalising culture and how escalating diagnosis (depression, ADHD, autism) is harmful and preventing recovery. 'We are becoming victims of too much medicine and it is time to turn back the dial.' theguardian.com/society/2025…

The diagnosis of personality disorder can hide the experiences and trauma that contribute to distress. We are asking for a review of use of this diagnosis, the ways in which it is used, and the implications this has on people’s ability to access support.
