Sexual dysfunction is one of the more common features of depressive disorders, presenting with dysfunction across sexual response cycle. Variety of factors play a role in causing sexual dysfunction in these patients, such as psychological, biological, social and interpersonal factors. Another cause of sexual dysfunction in these patients can be the side effect of antidepressants making it difficult to conclude if the dysfunction is the result of the depression or the treatment of depression.
