Stress management: Stress can have large negative impact on your sex drive. It helps then to find ways to manage your stress and stressors through activities such as exercise, social supports, meditation, mindfulness techniques. Certain therapies can also assist, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Deal with stress: Most women struggle with libido when fatigue or stress are high. Unlike guys who can "turn off" stress and actually find sex to relieve it, most ladies have a tough time and are distracted when more important matters occupy the mind. Perhaps a counselor to help deal with bro's situation will help lessen the stress from your worry and allow libido to return to normal.

Stress: 90% of doctor visits are related to stress so i'm right with that answer most of the time. There are some medical conditions & hormone abnormalities that affect libido however.
