...evidence for PSSD beiding physical verses psychological.

[Guest guest]

Am I the only one that gets frustrated most every time I read a posting on this blog sight that suggest that PSSD is or might be psychological in origin.The evidence that at least some of my sexual dysfunction symptoms are related to my psychiatric medication treatment is very compelling to me although much evidence is self-evident and therefore not transferable to be seen by anyone but me.I have not found in my research or heard of on this blog sight any empirical scientific evidence for supporting a psychological bases of origin for PSSD sexual dysfunctions.However, I have found and heard on this blog site of some very compelling circumstantial evidence to support a correlation between PSSD type sexual dysfunctions and SSRI anti-depressants. The circumstantial evidence in favor of a physical origin for PSSD seems to overwhelm the

little if any circumstantial evidence for a psychological cause for PSSD.I also have come across some medical research articles--that were not initially developed for investigating PSSD--but, they none the less have details in them that can be used to extrapolate the potential for SSRI involvement with PSSD sexual dysfunctions. I apologize for not including each of these sources that I have alluded to in this posting--however most of my sources were originally mentioned by others who posted about them on this blog sight.One example that comes to mind is the medical journal article co written by a psychologist by the name of Audrey Bahrick--in which the connection between SSRI antidepressant medications and chronic sexual dysfunctions are suggested for consideration--and some evidence to support such a connection is discussed in her article. Doctor Bahricks article points out that it is her

understanding that the type of sexual dysfunctions that people are reporting--in association with present and past SSRI treatment--did not exist or were not reported or were not known to medical science prior to the mid 1980s. Doctor Bahrick goes on to suggest that these unique sexual dysfunction symptoms cannot be caused by psychological pathologies because if psychological stresses were capable of causing PSSD type sexual dysfunctions then there would have been references to such specific type of sexual dysfunction symptoms in the medical literature dated prior to the introduction of antidepressant medications. Therefore, I believe the implication that doctor Barhick was trying to make was that what ever was causing the PSSD type sexual dysfunctions must have been first introduced into the human environment--beginning in the mid 1980s--and it must still be present in the human environment. And I believe this

doctor goes on to ask something to the effect--was it a coincidence that SSRI antidepressants such as Prozac were introduced around the same time as the first PSSD type sexual dysfunctions began--therefore, there is a strong cause and effect relationship between antidepressant medication and the sexual dysfunctions that are unique to those who have taken anti-depressants.Do any of the readers of this blog site have any knowledge of any compelling scientific evidence to refute what I have said above?Shaun
