Does olanzapine affect libido and sexual function?

Patient's question:

Feeling paranoid as if someone is stalking me and people are speaking ill of me behind my back, tense interpersonal relationships, and also suffering from neurasthenia.

Doctor's answer:

For treating neurasthenia, you can still try psychological therapy or hypnotherapy. Medication treatment is not recommended mainly because of its dependency and inability to fundamentally alleviate symptoms. It is advised not to work overtime frequently, avoid drinking coffee, strong tea, or smoking before bed. You can consume porridge or sweet soup made from ingredients like jujubes, coix seed, corn, and millet to replenish qi and blood. Taking a bath with slightly warm water before bed can promote blood circulation and improve sleep quality.
