Role of Receptor Binding Profiles in Antidepressant-Induced Sexual Dysfunction

Letter to the Editor

Sir: Montejo et al. studied the incidence of sexual dysfunction associated with antidepressant agents. One thousand twenty-two subjects treated with SSRIs, venlafaxine, mirtazapine, nefazodone, moclobemide, or amineptine were interviewed when they visited an outpatient clinic. The authors not only reported very interesting data about the incidence of sexual dysfunction, but they also measured the incidence of spontaneous improvement of sexual dysfunction.
