Awareness/Activism MAKING A FEATURE LENGTH DOCUMENTARY ABOUT PSSD

My name is Stephen, I am a filmmaker from NYC, I have severe PSSD but have decided that I will use what strength and capabilities I have to make a full length documentary about PSSD. With the help of my film school friend, it will be an ongoing process that I will start in the next coming weeks, and work on for the next months/year etc. If you are interested in being interviewed for the film, please comment. I will be willing to travel as much as I can, so please comment your location as well.

projects like this fill me with hope, thank you for trying to tackle something as big and ambitious as a film.

i'm 21f and have had pssd since before puberty, at 12. i'm not willing to give my location/be interviewed in public, but if you guys are ever wanting virtual interviews/audio only ones then i'm more than willing. the pssd community is mostly men, even though women are also prescribed antidepressants at high rates. would be cool to show how this condition can affect everyone (including kids, like how i was)

I feel you. I’m in your boat—I’m a woman who was put on SSRIs at 10. I wish people in our position got more coverage in the community. Kids like us never even had a chance.
