Patient's question:
Last year, I was misdiagnosed with depression and took 8 psychiatric medications intermittently. Over the course of a year, I was on medication for a total of 3 weeks. Now, after stopping the medication for a year, has it caused any harm to my sexual function?Doctor's answer:
Certain psychiatric medications taken for a long time may cause sexual dysfunction, but since you've only been taking them for such a short period, it's generally not a major issue. It should recover completely, but it's not impossible for some people to experience irreversible sexual dysfunction again. It may also affect other functions.It's recommended to relax and maintain a positive mindset. Pay attention to getting more rest. Relax yourself, alleviate stress, cultivate hobbies and interests, and engage in regular activities like walking or running. Ensuring a good mood and deep sleep is very important.
