Girlfriend of Patient

I’ve found draft suicide notes in his Gmail for myself, his mom and brother.

My boyfriend believes that he is suffering from PFS, but we have not found a doctor who has believed him, much less been able to help him. He was taking Propecia about a year ago, briefly stopped, picked it back up in the Spring, and then stopped taking it all together July 2019. This is when his side effects began. Since, he has not been the same. Mentally or sexually. It is worsening by day. Having already been diagnosed with depression in prior years, his suffering is extra dark. He’s had suicidal ideation and extreme depressive episodes. I’ve found draft suicide notes in his Gmail for myself, his mom and brother. He is absolutely scarred from taking any sort of medication because of what has happened, and therefore does not want to go on any sort of anti-depression medication. I’m in need of someone to talk to about this, someone who knows what this syndrome is all about.
