Well the article mentions 10+ years of usage, which is hardly the case for most of us.
Gingo seems to help a bit, but is no deal breaker and has been discussed alot on this forum already.

What really got me interested in neurodegeneration is restless legs syndrome, RLS can be caused by iron deficiency and iron deficiency can be linked to dopaminergic neurodegeneration probably far-fetched but just want to bring it up as a possibility.

I would say we don't have enough of an understanding to make this conclusion, but thinking about it logically, I would say neurodegeneration is not happening as we have people who do recover from this.

Did their brain regenerate? Who knows. The problem with these articles is they don't know either. Like psychiatry in general, this is speculative and consensus based. There's no proof SSRIs "damage" the brain, although it would be nice to put this one to bed and find out what these drugs do long term.

Also the fact that the majority of users experience windows plus the fact that all our symptoms are very commonly experienced by people on the drug strongly indicates to me that this is a receptor/chemical issue
PSSD Since March 2016 after 4 weeks on Sertraline
Conditioned worsened and peaked in April, since then possibly seen a 20% improvement
Would be useful for data collection if people could add their histories in their signature
