I've started a draft Wikipedia page for PSSD

If any of you can edit Wikipedia and would like to help, please do.

I think it could be a very useful way to raise awareness of PSSD.

At the moment it's just a draft until it's good enough for us to submit it to Wikipedia's editors for review.

Here's the URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Pos ... on_(PSSD)
I'm aware someone created a PSSD Wikipedia page in the past which was deleted but I think it's worth trying again anyway. Especially as much more info has been published since that page was deleted in 2016.

N.B. As sufferers of PSSD, editors would consider that we have a potential conflict of interest when editing this page. They say it's important to be open and honest about this, so if you suffer from PSSD and you edit the page, please add this code to your Wikipedia user page that declares your potential conflict of interest:{{UserboxCOI|1=Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD)}}

This is very important. It is the single best thing we can do for awareness. I would pin this post. There are 6M+ English Wikipedia pages in total while the pssd subreddit rank is around 30k, so obviously, PSSD is something much more than notable enough to have its own page. It would be better if you create a Discord group for coordinated collaboration, not only for creating the page but also for justifying its existence. PSSD groups' moderator Ghost has attempted that but failed.

PSSD page already exists, it is just almost empty in the current version and redirects to sexual dysfunction part of the SSRI page. This is the PSSD page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-SSRI ... edirect=no. So please don't create a new page but edit this one when the article is ready. Make information as complete as possible when listing the drugs that cause PSSD and symptoms of PSSD as long as they are mentioned in the literature.

Useful links:

PSSD wikipedia pages in other languages: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special ... ysfunction

Previous versions of English Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti ... on=history

Scientific literature (most of these were written after the Wikipedia page was taken down, so this will be an important argument for re-creation):

This is an up-to-date and fairly complete English data sheet on PSSD from which you can take your cue for wikipedia, but you will need to be even more thorough and stick to the references (e.g., it will not be permissible to talk about evidence from the pssd community if this has not been mentioned in the literature)

https://disfunzionisessualipostssri.blo ... ction.html

This page is also in Italian
https://disfunzionisessualipostssri.blo ... -pssd.html

French
https://disfunzionisessualipostssri.blo ... -isrs.html

Spanish
https://disfunzionisessualipostssri.blo ... -isrs.html

While the italian Wikipedia PSSD page is already in-depth, the French and Spanish ones are not very, if someone would like to expand and update them..

Be sure to do one thing right in order not to create an embarrassing history for the PSSD page.
