why and how do anti-depressants fuck with libido and sexual drive?
In: Biology
it’s pretty complicated, and not really proven.
to keep it short:
you have multiple important messengers in the brain, among those for example: Dopamin and serotonin
for example SSRIs keep serotonine floating around in you brain. that makes you happy. but there is a balance to be had, and usually dopamine and others get reduced then. but they are responsible for you wanting to have sex.
there are some antidepressants that aren’t as bad as others in regards of sex impact, but they usually have other downsides.
