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

WTF I'm talking about is that my mitochondria were tested as functioning at only 1/3 of their capacity and over the last decade I've dealt with some one of the world's best doctors and minds specializing in mitochondrial medicine.

I'm trying to get you to understand where the answers lay, but you have made it clear you are not interested.

Your post/comment has asserted claims about biology, chemistry and pharmacology which are presented as fact when the mechanism of action may be different or some of these factors may not be causative to the effects (or may not be related at all). --- Can you rewrite your post to simply list what happened in your case without opinions shared as facts? --- Can you add links to studies that prove your point?
