Scenario

When couples both take antidepressants and sexual side effects affect intimacy

My partner and I are both on antidepressants and our sex life has basically disappeared — we dance around it with jokes and understanding looks but we haven't actually talked about how much we both miss physical intimacy and what we might do about it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Sexual side effects from psychiatric medications are creating unspoken distance in relationships where both partners are affected but neither wants to burden the other.
