“…In our study, the second-generation antipsychotic drugs were used by all patients, and there were no significant differences in the effects of antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs on sexual dysfunction, which is consistent with a previous study showing that no differences were found in the prevalence of sexual dysfunction between the drug groups (olanzapine, risperidone, aripiprazole, haloperidol) (6,43). However, in other studies, there were significant differences in the incidence of sexual dysfunction between different antipsychotic drugs (7,46,47). Taken together, the diverse rates of sexual dysfunction are likely to be related to the patients' treatment setting (inpatient, community or outpatient), sample size, different sociocultural contexts, clinical symptoms (especially negative symptoms), and possibly antipsychotic treatment.…”
