[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a great study, I think this issue needs higher quality research. From the article posted:

“The survey did not distinguish between specific types of antidepressants, such as SSRIs versus other drug classes, although most antidepressant prescriptions for youth are SSRIs or SNRIs. The data were also based on self-reports, which introduces the possibility of recall bias. Additionally, the researchers could [b]not determine how long symptoms persisted after treatment[/b] or whether they were limited to reduced genital sensitivity or included other sexual side effects. The survey did not include baseline measures of sexual functioning before participants began taking medication, so it’s not possible to confirm whether the antidepressants caused the symptoms or simply coincided with them.”[/quote]

Well that kinda contradicts the "permanent" in the title. And no baseline measure is a huge red flag. Thanks for this synopsis. Agree that higher quality research is warranted. [/quote]
