Dr. Shulman:

Great question. For the most part, drugs that treat depression, as well as depression themselves, have been associated with libido problems and in fact there are many drugs that are found to inhibit sexual interest that we try to manipulate, not we, but psychologists and psychiatrists try to manipulate to improve overall sex and sexuality.
