Psychosis, Antipsychotic Medication, and Sexual Dysfunctions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sexual Dysfunctions in Mentally Ill Patients

Part of the book series: Trends in Andrology and Sexual Medicine ((TASM))

Abstract

Sexual dysfunctions (SDs) in patients with psychoses are estimated to affect 30–80% of women and 45–80% of men, having a severe impact on their quality of life and medication adherence. Aim of this chapter was to critically review the findings on SDs induced by antipsychotics and by the symptoms of psychosis. Potential confounding factors, as genetic factors, comorbid psychiatric disorders, and the use of co-medications, were also accounted. Moreover, therapeutic approaches for the management of SDs in patients with psychosis were discussed.
