“…It also was seen in the study that antidepressant-associated sexual dysfunction contributes to poor quality of life in almost all domains and also to poor dyadic adjustment. These findings are supported by the results of earlier studies that suggest that sexual dysfunction leads to interpersonal and marital disharmony 23,24,56,57 and poor quality of life. 21,22 Hence, it is important to evaluate the patients of antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction and manage the same adequately to enhance the quality of life of the patient and improving the interaction with the spouse.…”

“…4,18,19 There are only few studies that have assessed the impact of sexual dysfunction on compliance, 3,20 quality of life, 21,22 and marital functioning. 23,24 Present study by design included only married male subjects who were in a heterosexual relationship.

This study attempted to estimate the prevalence and impact of sexual dysfunction on quality of life, treatment compliance, and dyadic adjustment with spouse. For this, 100 consenting subjects who had history of unipolar depression (as per Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview) and were in remission (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, <7) at time of intake and met the selection criteria were recruited. Then, they were assessed on Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Global Assessment of Functioning Scale, Compliance Rating Scale, Arizona Sexual Experience Questionnaire, World Health Organization Quality Of Life scale-BREF Version, and Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Twenty-three subjects were found to have sexual dysfunction. Nine subjects had dysfunction in the domain of desire, 5 had arousal difficulty, 6 subjects had problem with erection, and 8 subjects had problem with orgasm. Some of the subjects (n = 5) had sexual dysfunction in more than 1 domain. Significant difference was found between those with and without sexual dysfunction on dyadic adjustment scale and quality of life scale. However, no significant difference was seen on compliance rating scale and global assessment of functioning scale. From this study, it can be concluded that approximately one fourth of married male subjects experience antidepressant-associated sexual dysfunction. Antidepressant-associated sexual dysfunction contributes to poor quality of life and possibly contributes to poor marital adjustment. Hence, proper identification and management of sexual dysfunction is important to improve overall outcome of depression.
