Antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction

Description

Sexual function should be actively assessed at baseline, at regular intervals during treatment, and after treatment cessation. Management of antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction requires an individualised approach (eg, considering other causes, dose reduction, addition of medication to treat the adverse effect, switching to a different antidepressant).
