A member asked:
How does depression affect sexual intimacy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: The loss of interest and drive usually extends to libido. While treatment often helps this symptom, some of the medications might keep the libido down. Discuss with your prescriber as this is not a universal side effect.
