Hello- antidepressants may cause sexual side effects but depression itself may also affect sex drive and arousal. Most prescription antidepressants are part of a drug family called ssris (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). By raising levels of serotonin in the body, the person taking the drug experiences a feeling of calm and less anxiety. However, that same sense of calm and stability can lower our libido. It prevents the hormones that cause our bodies to respond to sex from transmitting their message to our brains. Simply put, antidepressants can turn the dial down on our sex drive. Fortunately it is something that can be corrected by the help of ayurveda treatment.
