Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of people with post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD). Ten participants were recruited through a patient advocacy group to participate in individual, semi-structured interviews. The results were analyzed using descriptive phenomenological analysis. Eight themes emerged to describe participants' experiences with PSSD. Findings indicate that people with PSSD can undergo psychological, physical and sexual effects of withdrawal that cause suffering, hopelessness and alienation. In addition, findings suggest that there was a lack of understanding, awareness, informed consent or acceptance among healthcare providers about PSSD, which (1) compounded the suffering, trauma, hopelessness and alienation that people with PSSD experience about their condition and (2) contributed to an overall lack of trust in physicians and/or medicine in general and therefore reliance on oneself to find relief from the symptoms of PSSD.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
