“…For example, in the study of Lerner et al, women with hypoactive sexual desire were found to have predominant depressive and anxious moods. These women avoided perceiving themselves as sexual and tended to negatively evaluate their capacity to have sexual intercourse with their partners 26 . As a result, since sexuality is multidimensional, it may not be correct to explain the event with a limited number of variables.…”

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate female sexual function in patients with type 1 diabetes by comparing female sexual function index scores between women with and without type 1 diabetes. METHODS: A total of 62 women with type 1 diabetes and 69 age-matched women without diabetes but with similar backgrounds were enrolled in the patient and control groups, respectively. All participants were sexually active and had no systemic diseases other than diabetes in the patient group. RESULTS: The frequency of female sexual dysfunction was significantly higher, and the mean female sexual function index score was significantly lower in women with diabetes compared to the control group (p=0.01). There was a significant relationship between sexual dysfunction and duration of diabetes, glycosylated hemoglobin test, and body mass index (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that female sexual dysfunction is more common among women with type 1 diabetes than among women without type 1 diabetes. Patients with type 1 diabetes should be evaluated in terms of sexual health. Health professionals should give more attention to and provide guidance regarding sexual function in women with type 1 diabetes.

“…SD still represents a major clinical challenge, as the diagnosis and treatment of SD are limited by several factors. In their study of 106 female subjects with hypoactive SD, Lerner et al 17 showed that group cognitive-behavioral group therapy can be an effective option for the treatment of female SD, which can have an effect on most of the possible factors and have a positive effect on female SD.…”

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Fibromyalgia is one of the most important problems, especially for women. Studies point to disorders in the sexual functions of fibromyalgia patients that reduce their quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate sexual dysfunction and its relationship with disease severity and depression in women with fibromyalgia. METHODS: This study included 98 female patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia and 54 healthy women. The Female Sexual Function Index was used to assess sexual dysfunction. Fibromyalgia disease severity was measured with the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire. Hamilton Depression Scale was filled in to evaluate the depression status of the patients. RESULTS: According to the female sexual function index data, female sexual dysfunction was found in 78 (79.6%) patients with fibromyalgia and only in 12 (22.2%) controls. When the female sexual function index scores of fibromyalgia patients with and without depression were compared, patients with additional depression had lower female sexual function index scores, and this difference was statistically significant (p=0.002). In the correlation analysis, the female sexual function index score showed a significant negative correlation with the hamilton depression scale (rho=-0.235, p=0.020) and fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (rho=-0.215, p=0.033) scores. CONCLUSION: This study highlights the high prevalence of sexual dysfunction in female fibromyalgia patients and the significant correlation between sexual dysfunction and both disease severity and depression.

“…This shared journey helps reduce feelings of isolation and provides a platform for learning effective coping strategies from those who have firsthand experience. Peer counselling, within this context, fosters an even more profound sense of connection and empathy as mothers provide support for one another guided by their shared experiences [ 22 ].…”

The journey of motherhood encompasses a profound array of emotions, experiences, and challenges that extend beyond the surface of joy and elation. This review delves into the crucial yet often underexplored realm of postpartum mood disorders, aiming to illuminate their significance and foster understanding. Postpartum mood disorders, including postpartum depression, anxiety disorders, and psychosis, impact the mental well-being of mothers during a pivotal phase of their lives. Through a comprehensive exploration, this review elucidates the various dimensions of these disorders, from their definitions and classifications to their prevalence and impact on both mothers and families. Identifying and diagnosing postpartum mood disorders is discussed in detail, shedding light on the emotional, cognitive, and physical symptoms that warrant attention. Screening and assessment tools are highlighted as essential instruments for early detection, while challenges in diagnosis, including the overlap with typical postpartum experiences and the influence of stigma, are explored. The review further delves into treatment and intervention, underscoring the importance of psychotherapy, pharmacological interventions, and individualised treatment plans. The roles of healthcare providers and mental health professionals in offering support and guidance are emphasised, emphasising the significance of a collaborative approach. Cultural and societal influences are crucial in shaping perceptions of motherhood and mental health. The review explores how these influences can create barriers to seeking help and highlights the importance of destigmatising postpartum mood disorders. It underscores the urgency of raising awareness and fostering a supportive environment that empowers mothers to seek assistance without fear of judgment. Looking toward the future, the review points to potential research directions, such as advances in understanding hormonal influences and exploring the long-term effects on maternal mental health. The overarching call to action resonates - increased awareness, support, and dismantling stigma are imperative. A hopeful vision is presented: a future where all mothers receive appropriate mental health care, no mother stands alone in her motherhood journey, and societal understanding and compassion thrive.
