Antidepressants Steal Your Sexuality and Humanity | Cael's Story of PSSD & Psych Med Harm
In this eye-opening episode of The Gaslit Truth Podcast, 22-year-old Cael shares his harrowing journey from seeking help for college anxiety at 19 to being trapped in a cycle of psychiatric overmedication and life-altering side effects. After being prescribed a series of antidepressants and antipsychotics—despite promises of personalized treatment—Cael developed Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD), a little-known but devastating condition that left him emotionally numb and unable to feel physical pleasure.
His story highlights the dangerous gap between what patients are told and the hidden risks of psychiatric medications. While international health agencies acknowledge PSSD, the FDA continues to minimize its severity, leaving patients like Cael without answers or support. This episode is a powerful call for transparency, informed consent, and accountability in mental health care—and a must-listen for anyone questioning the medications meant to help them.
