Wikipedia coverage added

[Guest guest]

Hello, my new group. I will introduce myself in a follow-up post.

I have added the following to the Wikipeda article on PSSD.

------

To establish, monitor, and regulate causation of PSSD in individual

patients, one approach in use by consulation-liason psychiatrists is

to assay measurable parameters of patient health (hormone levels,

sexual functioning) with a survey or laboratory tests before and

after administering a psychiatric drug, based on individual patient

concern regarding each of the listed side effects. If PSSD develops,

a correlation can be established between assay results and PSSD,

guiding further treatment for the indivdual patient and others. A

lack of education on drug side effects and the presence of

depression in a patient who is a candidate for antidepressant

therapy can combine to reduce the patient's ability to advocate for

tests.

Post-administration reporting of side effects provides useful data

for development of new drugs and patient decisions. In America,

adverse effects are repored with FDA forms 3500, for optional use,

and 3500A, for mandatory reporting.
