A member asked:
I have talked w/ my psychologist about taking antidepressants to manage ocd, but i'm worried about sexual side effects. likelihood/severity of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OCD: can respond to medication. If you take medication monitor yourself. If you have little or no side-effects so much the better. If side-effects, tell your doc who may switch your med or change the dose. Also consider seeing a clinical psychologist who specializes in OCD and a treatment called "response prevention." A self-help app is called nOCD. Peace and good health.
