In this powerful interview, therapist and educator Yassie Pirani speaks out about Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD), an underrecognized but devastating condition affecting a significant number of antidepressant users. Drawing from both clinical experience and published research, Yassie reveals that 13% of past SSRI users report persistent genital numbness — a figure that challenges the mainstream narrative that PSSD is “rare.”We discuss:

• The psychological, emotional, and physical toll of PSSD

• Why most doctors dismiss it — and how that compounds the harm

• How SSRIs and other drugs like Finasteride and Ashwagandha can cause lasting neurological and sexual side effects

• The parallels between PSSD and other forms of trauma

• What therapists and medical professionals need to understand — and why patients feel betrayed

This is not just about side effects. It’s about identity loss, grief, and medical systems that gaslight the people they’re meant to help.
