We’re encouraged to see increased awareness of prescribed harm and the growing number of lived experiences being shared: https://prescribed-harm.com/

At MISSD, we have amplified similar stories to improve patient safety and deepen understanding of akathisia and related medication-induced harms.

While MISSD focuses on akathisia, it is not the only form of medication-induced harm that can precipitate suicide. Other serious effects may include post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD), emotional blunting, and loss of emotional responsiveness.

Adverse drug events are among the leading causes of death, yet remain widely under-recognized. Sharing lived experience helps improve recognition, informed consent, and ultimately—saves lives.
