   • 2009, Mark Fisher, chapter 5, in Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative?, Zero Books, →ISBN, page 36:

     Considering mental illness an individual chemico-biological problem has enormous benefits for capitalism. First, it reinforces Capital’s drive towards atomistic individualization (you are sick because of your brain chemistry). Second, it provides an enormously lucrative market in which multinational pharmaceutical companies can peddle their pharmaceuticals (we can cure you with our SSRIs).

   • 2015 October 3, “Effects of Citalopram on Sutural and Calvarial Cell Processes”, in PLOS ONE‎, →DOI:

     Based on previous data, here we sought to test the hypothesis that exposure to SSRIs would alter the proliferation and apoptosis of perisutural cells at the cellular and transcription levels.

   • 2024 March 21, Kristen Rogers, “If antidepressants are killing your sex life, here’s what you can do”, in CNN‎:

     Sometimes lowering the SSRI dose a little helps people still do well mentally without having sexual dysfunction, Alpert said. […] Bupropion is more conducive to sexual function because instead of increasing serotonin such as SSRIs do, it ups the amount of dopamine in the brain, which supports sexual desire and response, experts said.

2. (medicine) Initialism of serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitor.

Derived terms

• post-SSRI sexual dysfunction
• post-SSRI syndrome
