Sexual dysfunction is a well-known symptom of depression. However, it has received little, if any, attention from clinicians and researchers. A review of published literature suggests that sexual dysfunction occurs in the majority of depressed patients. It has a major impact on the quality of life of the patients. The pathophysiology of sexual dysfunction in depression involves a complex interplay of various neurotransmitters and hormones. Clinicians need to be more proactive in enquiring about sexual dysfunction in depressed patients. More information is needed about the nature, prevalence and pathophysiology of sexual dysfunction in depression. Copyright 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
