Can Depression Medication Cause Erectile Dysfunction?
Yes. Many antidepressants, especially SSRIs like sertraline and fluoxetine, list erectile dysfunction and loss of libido as side effects. They alter brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, which are critical for sexual arousal. Men often find that while mood improves, performance drops.
