In this heartbreaking interview, Vincent and Yoko share the devastating story of their son Romain — a bright, gifted teenager whose life was cut short after being prescribed the SSRI paroxetine. What began as an effort to address obsessive thoughts turned into a nightmare of emotional instability, disinhibition, catatonia, and ultimately, suicide.
This is not just a story about a medication. It’s a story about silence. About a system that failed to warn. About the unimaginable grief of losing a child to something that never should have happened — and the doctors who never acknowledged the risks.
Vincent and Yoko are speaking out not just to honor their son, but to protect other families from the same fate. Their courage gives voice to those suffering in silence — and brings urgent attention to the dangers too often buried beneath clinical language and pharmaceutical marketing.
Watch their story. Share their voice. And help ensure that Romain’s loss was not in vain.
Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) is the current term for a rare syndrome characterized by devastating physical, neurological, and sexual side effects that persist and progress even after stopping SSRIs.
PSSD 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.
