PSSD,PFS,PRSD: A perspective for aetiology and treatment
Spyridon Bourtzalas
OSF Preprints2023
Summary (paraphrased)
This theoretical paper treats PSSD, PFS, and PRSD as documented but poorly understood iatrogenic conditions with severe, often permanent effects on quality of life. It argues that developing treatments requires understanding causal pathways, which in turn requires a better grasp of the mechanisms driving sexual behavior in men and women, and notes that no well-supported aetiological proposals or treatments currently exist. The paper aims to supply a new conceptual framework bridging the three syndromes. It is a single-author perspective piece rather than an empirical study.
Why it’s in the corpus
An explicit attempt to build a shared aetiological framework across all three post-drug sexual syndromes — the only such theory paper found in this sweep, and directly on the "unified post-drug syndrome" axis.
