- SSRI antidepressants could cause 'life-changing' sexual problems experts say
- 1 in 8 people were prescribed antidepressants in the past year according to stats
- But they can cause serious side effects like libido drop and numb groin areas
- Many report they no longer experience sexual or romantic attraction at all
Some patients claim the effects have been more persistent and have continued, or even worsened, years after they stopped taking the drugs. Some have had problems for decades.
The symptoms they describe are strikingly similar. Genital numbness – a total lack of sensation around the groin – and for men, erectile dysfunction. Both men and women experience a condition known as anorgasmia – a difficulty in reaching orgasm, and if they do climax, it is weak or without pleasure. As one woman put it: 'It's like a sneeze.'
Many report they no longer experience sexual or romantic attraction at all, and have been left with an emotional numbness. Most have seen relationships collapse as a result, while others have missed out on the chance to have children. Some have never experienced pleasure during sex – called anhedonia – and worry they never will.
Significantly, all have found their symptoms repeatedly dismissed by medical professionals, who insist they are linked to their underlying depression and not the pills.

This is true. I know from personal experience. Took one of these drugs for a few months. Not only did it not help with depression, it ruined my libido. Fortunately, I had sense enough to realize they were harming me and I got off of them pretty quick so the damage was temporary. Foe depression, take Vitamin D and Magnesium. It has changed my life.

Question. Does being on an anti-depressant (SSRI) block the proper functioning of the pineal gland?
Answer. Intentionally trying to mimmic the cannabinol activation techniques of CBD/THC at the expense of toxins being injected into your body that obfuscate your pineal gland's effectiveness.
Doctors never tested serotonin levels on their patients. The determination was made from a list of symptoms. This is the science!
Speaking from my personal experiences as a medical student and subsequently a full fledged licensed medical practitioner I totally agree with your comment.
Now as a former peon of the medical industrial complex I consider it an insult, a disgrace and a liability to humanity if I am called a “Doctor of Medicine”.
I have created medically oriented posts and my personal professional experience (rant) is embedded in the post below:

I have a doctor who does chelation and a lot of bloodwork. What a shame you were unable to find a niche. Even circumventing insurance by running a cash only office. There are many people especially with a high Amish community that seek medical help from these alternative practitioners. If you had the intellect for medical school but not the curiosity to pursue better health, is it possible your motives had more to do with something else? My doctor is 80 years old and has nobody to take his place. Doctors become doctors to get rich. They say trite things about wanting to help people…so we’ll buy their boat.
Then there are scientists of a sort that want to figure out how to use CLO2 to kill tumors and they practice on themselves.
