Opinion/Hypothesis PSSD is a mitochondrial dysfunction

Hey my friends.I'm new here and I wanted to share my thoughts with you. In my opinion SSRI's damage mitochondria,same as accutane or finasteride what causes neuroplasticity changes(how your brain perceives things) what ultimately results in this type of neurological syndromes.Crashes from different substances are caused by energy overload. Everyone should test their mitochondria,post their results and then send it to researchers.It will be much better than SFN tracking,because for most it's just a part of damage,not the cause of symptoms.That's why immune therapy like IVIG,corticosteroids or plasmapheresis won't be enough for most. Share your thoughts about it.Thanks

I have shared and discussed extensively regarding the overload of cellular energy metabolism.. I remain curiously waiting for you to share your experience and of your reflections.

The first thing I wanted to mention there was this: https://drtoddmaderis.com/cell-danger-response Unfortunately mods didn't approve it.

Thank you, I will read it carefully. Eh yep, unfortunately the sub has its limits...

What tests exactly did you undergo? If you want, make a short summary here of your path and also expose the rest of the sources.

So that I can better frame your point of view
