title: Sexual dysfunction associated with antidepressant therapy.
abstract: Increasing numbers of patients are on psychiatric drugs, especially antidepressants. When patients complain of sexual dysfunction, it is important that the clinician take a careful history concerning psychopharmacologic agents. It is possible that simple interventions may maintain the desired effect of the psychiatric drugs while also eliminating sexual side effects caused by these agents.
