PSSD and PFS: The Overlooked Syndromes No One Warns You About

Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) is a condition that has puzzled many in the medical community. For numerous patients, it is a devastating reality that severely affects their quality of life. In this video, Dr. Sanil Rege, a consultant psychiatrist, delves into the complexities of PSSD, drawing insights from Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS), another condition known for persistent sexual dysfunction even after medication cessation. We will explore the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and potential treatment avenues for PSSD. Dr. Rege discusses the overlapping mechanisms between PSSD and PFS, including the role of neuroactive steroids, androgen receptors, gene expression changes, and the gut-brain axis. By examining these commonalities, we aim to shed light on potential treatment strategies that could provide relief to those suffering from these conditions. The video covers a range of important topics, from the impact of serotonergic inhibition on dopamine release to the role of epigenetic modifications and endocrine abnormalities. Additionally, we discuss how alterations in the gut microbiome can influence sexual behaviour and mood, linking gut health to PSSD and PFS symptoms. Join us as we tackle this critical topic and strive to understand more about these debilitating conditions. Don't forget to stay until the end of the video, where we explore potential treatment options and emerging research that could offer hope to those affected by PSSD and PFS. From neuroactive steroid therapy to modulation of the gut microbiome and dopamine agonists, we delve into the most promising avenues for future research and treatment development.
