Sexual Depression

 Sexual Problems and Depression

If you are clinically depressed and also experiencing sexual problems, you're not alone. Sexual problems, such as erectile dysfunction (ED) or an inability to have an orgasm, often co-exist with depression. The good news is that doctors can usually treat sexual problems that are related to depression.

What types of sexual problems are associated with antidepressants?

Sexual problems with antidepressants may include:
  • Inability to initiate or enjoy sex
  • Erectile dysfunction (ED) or delayed ejaculation for men
  • Decreased sexual desire
  • Inability to achieve an orgasm

How are sexual problems with depression or with antidepressants treated?

If you have depression and are noticing a reduced interest in sex or problems with sexual functioning, it is important for you and your doctor to figure out if the cause of sexual dysfunction is the depression, the antidepressant you may be taking, or some other medical explanation. There are ways to manage the sexual side effects of antidepressant medicines without compromising treatment. Your doctor might try newer antidepressants that may not dampen the libido or sexual response, or he may prescribe another medication to try to counteract sexual side effects, which can be taken in tandem with the antidepressant.
Without knowing there's a sexual problem, your doctor can't do anything about it. Talk openly with both your partner and your doctor. Then ask your doctor what might help your situation.

Once they realize that the sexual problems associated with the medications can be treated, most people taking antidepressants choose to continue taking them.

For any query call your doctor now
