In this powerful and deeply emotional interview, Erica shares the story of her son Henry — a vibrant father, husband, and son — whose life took a devastating turn after taking just a few doses of finasteride. What began as a routine prescription quickly unraveled into a cascade of severe symptoms: emotional distress, sexual dysfunction, cognitive decline, and a painful loss of identity.
Just weeks after stopping the medication, Henry died by suicide. He was only 50 years old. He leaves behind a six-year-old son and a mother carrying the unimaginable weight of his loss.
Erica's story is not an isolated one. Across the world, families are grappling with the same devastation — blindsided by a medication they were never truly warned about.
This video is more than a testimony. It’s a mother’s plea for truth, awareness, and accountability. Please watch with compassion. Stories like Henry’s deserve to be heard.
Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS) is a rare yet life-altering condition that causes persistent and sometimes worsening physical, neurological, and sexual side effects even after stopping the drug.
PFS has a disastrous impact on patients, their families, and their friends. It often leads to disability, isolation, and even suicide. Every person is valuable, and everyone deserves to make a fully informed choice about their health.
More research into Post-Finasteride Syndrome is desperately needed. Learn more about and support the newest scientific initiative here: https://www.pfsnetwork.org/science
