Sexual Dysfunction In Drug Free Patients Suffering From Depression
Journal Title: International Journal Of Research In Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Normal sexual behavior brings pleasure to oneself and one’s partner, involves stimulation of primary sex organs, is devoid of inappropriate feelings of guilt or anxiety and is not compulsive. Sexual dysfunction is influenced by a number of factors, mental illness being one of them. Impairment in sexual dysfunction is frequent and underestimated in patients with mental disorders, particularly in those with mood disorders. Although it is important to study and document the effects antidepressant medication on sexual functioning, it is equally important to establish a baseline level of sexual interest and sexual function in patients who suffer from major depressive disorder prior to the initiation of treatment with antidepressant medication.
