Best Of: Love, Lust & Lexapro

Dr. Emily Morse
About this episode

Mental health and sexual desire – do you have to choose between one or the other? It's a conundrum that's more common than you think, and it's a topic that's sure to get you thinking! Antidepressants like Lexapro can be lifesavers for many, but they can also leave you feeling a little, well, deflated in the bedroom department. On the other hand, if your depression goes untreated, it can be tough to get in the mood. So, how do you navigate this predicament?

Today, we're diving into the nitty-gritty of this struggle, and you'll hear from some of our listeners who've been there. 

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • How to understand the effects your mental health has on your sex drive
  • Sexy strategies to manage the side effects of antidepressants
  • Alternative treatments and lifestyle changes to maximize your pleasure
