Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is closely associated with sexual dysfunction, which may worsen during treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) due to the side effects of pharmacologic treatment.
Aim: To examine the association between sexual function and severity of MDD in drug-naïve patients as compared with healthy controls and how treatment with SSRIs affects sexual function over time in individuals with MDD. Interaction with gender and treatment response was examined.
