Go to google and type in "permanent sexual dysfunction" and see what comes up. Three links and one video about SSRIs causing sexual dysfunction. If you include "SSRI" in that search, you will see that many people suffer with permanent sexual dysfunction. You can also find similar things about permanent short term memory loss, problems concentrating, and emotional blunting.
There are benefits and dangers with taking psych drugs. I wouldn't want to be a forum that doesn't allow for fair dialogue about these concerns. I would leave if this site became so pro med that there would be no room for criticism, because it would no longer be honest at the point. It would just be well... propaganda.
So while Lou's posts can be redundant I think it is important that people weigh their choices before taking a psych drug. Its not a choice to be taken lightly, and people should know all the information and talk to their doctors about it. I would wish that Lou would not associate antidepressants with antipsychotics since they have separate benefits and risks.
