We have listed several doctors below who are familiar with post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD). We are not claiming that any of these doctors can help you as there is currently no treatment for the condition. They have all given permission to be listed.
It should be noted that many healthcare professionals are aware of PSSD including GPs and psychosexual therapists. They don’t have to be on this list or regarded as an expert to recognize and diagnose the condition.
We need your help to build this list. If you know a doctor who might be suitable, can you approach them and ask if they are willing to be included. If they are, please provide us with an email address so we can contact them. Alternatively, they can send us a message via our contact page.
