Abstract in brief

  • Women with psychiatric disorders often experience sexual dysfunction, which is closely linked to their mental health issues and the effects of medications like antidepressants and antipsychotics.
  • Factors such as past trauma, relationship difficulties, and social stigma can also contribute to sexual problems, with low sexual desire strongly associated with depression and anxiety affecting arousal and pleasure.
  • Healthcare providers may not routinely address sexual concerns in patients with psychiatric conditions, but proper assessment and treatment options (both medical and non-medical) are essential, though more research is needed in the context of psychotic illnesses.]
