How SSRIs Are Silently Destroying Gen Z, One Zoloft at a Time ft. Lauren Friedman
Oct 2, 2026•Ep. 216•The Isabel Brown ShowWhat happens when the medication you thought was supposed to help you escape anxiety & depression instead leaves you feeling disconnected from everything you love?Today, I’m sitting down with Lauren, who shares her authentic, raw experience with post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD) and the lasting symptoms she says began after taking Zoloft. At 18, she asked all of the right questions about the risks. Years later, she found herself struggling to feel joy, attraction, or even love for her own family–let alone embrace her sexuality as a young woman.Together, we talk birth control, the shocking normalization of antidepressants among young women, and why Lauren is fighting for better warnings, informed consent, and research to prevent PSSD from happening to the next generation. But we also talk about finding faith and an extraordinary young man who chose to stand beside her through all of it. Her story broke my heart, and her courage gives me hope. This is a conversation we all need to have in America.
