How are depression and sexual dysfunction treated?

Depression is often treated with antidepressants. But certain antidepressants, such as SSRIs, can actually make sexual dysfunction worse. Before starting an antidepressant, talk to your healthcare provider about its sexual side effects.

Antidepressants affect everyone differently, so it’s important to find the right medicine and the right dosage for you. Always consult your healthcare provider before:

• Adjusting the dose of an antidepressant.
• Changing antidepressants.
• Stopping antidepressants.
