Sperm counts have dropped over 50% since the 1970s- and SSRIs might be making it worse.
In this video, I break down the overlooked research showing how antidepressants like Prozac, Paxil, and Lexapro may damage sperm quality, reduce testosterone, and even cause lasting testicular harm- especially when taken long term.
Most of this is hidden in drug labels and ignored by prescribers. If you’re a man taking SSRIs, or planning a family, you deserve to know the risks.
