In the first module, Antidepessants and Psychosexual Dysfunction:
Part 1, we looked at the diagnosis of sexual
dysfunction associated with antidepressant treatment.
When antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction
has been established and recognised as an important aspect of a
patient’s well-being, failure to treat may lead to non-compliance
and loss of faith in the psychiatrist.
|
Nonetheless, psychiatrists may simply
find themselves out of their depth or be reluctant to change proven
treatment regimes for the sake of a side effect. They may also
be under time constraints or doubtful
about straining further already stretched budgets. However, a
systematic, well thought-through approach to treatment may be
surprisingly resource-efficient.
The aim of this module is to familiarise all
clinicians who prescribe antidepressants with a systematic approach
towards the treatment of sexual dysfunction associated with
antidepressant treatment.
