“…Similar findings were observed Casper et al, Mathew et al, and Angst et al [9][10][11] In all these studies, the respective authors have found that among patients with depression, the prevalence of sexual dysfunction was very high. They concluded this observation for all types of depression including recurrent brief depression, dysthymia and major depression.…”

Background: Hypogonadism as well as deficiency of testosterone can lead to disorder of sexual function in males. The initial clinical manifestations of this are mostly erectile dysfunction (ED) and hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSSD). This not only causes the sexual dysfunction but can also lead to many health problems. To study the role of depression, anxiety, testosterone and luteinizing hormone levels in disorders of sexual functionMethods: A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted at department of General Medicine, Kamineni Academy of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad for a period of one year among 60 eligible study subjects to study the role of depression, anxiety, testosterone and luteinizing hormone levels in disorders of sexual function. All male patients aged between 21-60 years, who had stable heterosexual relationship, were included. Patients with severe diseases, users of alcohol and smoking, having marital disharmony were excluded. Informed consent was obtained from all the patients.Results: Testosterone and LH levels are significantly lower in subjects with SD, suggesting that a state of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism prevails in male diabetics with SD. Depression and anxiety are significant factors associated with SD. Premature Ejaculation is significantly associated with Anxiety.Conclusions: Testosterone and LH levels are significantly lower in subjects with SD. Depression and anxiety is significant factors associated with SD. Premature Ejaculation is significantly associated with anxiety.

“…In addition, the presence of depressive symptoms was assessed using a shortened version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies rating scale for measuring depressive mood in the community (CES-D). 11 Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) were assessed using the International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) and classified as absent or mild (IPSSr7), moderate (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) or severe (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35). 12 The degree of physical activity was classified as 'less than average', 'average' or 'more than average' depending on the answers concerning the amount and frequency of physical activity at work and during leisure time.…”

Prevalence of erectile dysfunction and associated factors among men without concomitant diseases: a population study

et al. 2003

We interviewed a population sample of 2412 men aged 40-70 y in Brazil, Italy, Japan and Malaysia about medical history, lifestyle habits and sexual behavior. Men were classified as having moderate or complete erectile dysfunction (ED) if they reported to be sometimes or never able to achieve and maintain an erection satisfactory for sexual intercourse, respectively. There were 1335 men with no diagnosis of cardiovascular or prostate diseases, diabetes, ulcer or depression, nor taking hormones. The prevalence of ED was 16.1%. ED was associated with age (the risk increased 8% per y), moderate (odds ratio (OR) ¼ 2.2) or severe (OR ¼ 4.9) lower urinary tract symptoms and smoking (OR ¼ 2.3 for 430 cigarettes/day). It was inversely associated with physical activity (OR ¼ 0.5) and higher educational levels. Between the ages of 40 and 70 y, almost one in six 'healthy' men is affected by ED. Further research should look at preclinical disease stages and genetic factors.

“…15,16 Perlman and colleagues 17 found that depression, co-morbidity (especially cardiopulmonary illness) and the use of antidepressants were all powerful risk factors for developing sexual dysfunction in the psychiatric inpatient setting. Moreover, both Casper 18 and Osvath 19 estimated the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in depressed patients to be in excess of 70%.…”

Depression and sexual dysfunction are both common in the general population. When they co-exist they have the potential to impact negatively on each other in a bidirectional manner. Medication used to treat depression may cause additional problems with the sexual response cycle; although no drug is completely innocent, serotonergic agents such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are most frequently implicated in antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction. Adherence to long-term treatment may be compromised, which may have serious consequences. Various psychological and pharmacological strategies, including the ad hoc use of sildenafil, may offer some respite.
