Great to see more coverage of the still little known fact that antidepressants can cause persistent sexual dysfunction after they are stopped. It can go on for years and it is critical that people know about it before deciding to start these drugs.

Antidepressants ruined my sex life... and I'm still suffering the side effects nearly 15 years later. Now I realise I didn't need the pills to begin with. You must think before taking these drugs trib.al/Cy6zLRo

Antidepressants ruined my sex life at just 21

When Katie Collingwood was 21, she went to her GP feeling low. She left the appointment with a prescription for Fluoxetine, the antidepressant better known as Prozac.

More appalling examples of medical gaslighting and #medicalMisogyny experienced by members of Sling The Mesh. These attitudes are not only dismissive and harmful, they are a significant patient safety concern.

😱 Real comments from healthcare professionals to members of our Facebook support group. #Medicalgaslighting and #medicalmisogyny is a hallmark of the mesh scandal. Women reporting complications are too often dismissed or disbelieved, leaving them without the care they need.

I think the over-confidence of people who lack insight and have no idea of what they don't know is truly frightening. Medicine isn't an exact science at the best of times, and requires knowledge, judgment in its application and experience. That's why the training is lengthy.

😱Medical gaslighting is a huge issue for people injured by surgical #mesh affecting both women and men. To suffer avoidable harm and then face disbelief, dismissal, or ridicule from the professionals you turn to for help is a profound betrayal of trust.
