  • Barriers to SD assessment and treatment persist in mental health settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the feasibility of incorporating SD evaluation in psychiatric care.
  • To explore the mutual benefits of managing sexual health alongside mental health conditions.
  • To highlight the importance of a holistic approach in patient management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on the intersection of psychiatric disorders and sexual dysfunction.
  • Analysis of the impact of SD on medication adherence and quality of life.
