Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your available history.
Sexual dysfunction in depression can be due to
- As a part of symptom of anhedonia.
- As a side effect of anti depressant drug.

You should consult your psychiatrist for detailed evaluation of sexual dysfunction and treatment as per cause.
Thanks

Dr. Sharmila Bura's  Response
Hi, 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 prescribe another medication to take 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.
Regards, Dr.Sharmila
