I didnt mean to sound that stupid or careless. That's the reason I said "Of course, we don’t know what’s the medical condition of the poster’s partner". Because there are depressions and depressions. If she's well treated there's no other way to go, really. I was just saying in case she was not THAT depressed. Ok, I can't win them all :P Yeah, sorry. I didnt mean to sound that stupid or careless.

I know you meant well Futan, but there's a difference between feeling sad about something and being clinically depressed - also everyone is a little different and can be affected differently by what happens to them in life. When suffering from depression, some people just need some therapy, some people need therapy plus medication, and some people have chemical imbalances that can only be helped with medication.

You could as just well say most people don't need safety bells, don't need condoms etc. Do you really think that she has such a simplistic depression as given in your example? Depressions can and mostly are completely unreasonable from an outsider's point of view. You seem to confuse "depression" with "not being happy or lucky". Just look at the large number of famous, successful people who had everything most people can at best dream of and still committed suicide. Last but not least, being in love with someone can send your feelings on a rollercoast ride, especially the first months and also increase your fear of loss. So she probably won't need anti-depressant DURING sex but how will she feel two hours later? Futanarikko: You’re just ignorant.

I don't believe that medication is the only treatment for depression, or should ever be the only treatment someone gets, but having experienced clinical depression, there is no willpower strong enough to overcome what I experienced. In my case it just wasn't going to happen, I could never feel anything other than depressed or distracted, no matter what was going on. “It’s not like I’m against any medication but….I think depression can be treated with just the power of will.”

A friend of mine had to face the death of her father at a young age, and she didn't even drink more alcohol to release her pain. Of course, we don't know what's the medical condition of the poster's partner and Shay did a good job don't going against the medical treatment (Just another reason she's our Shay!). My point is, maybe if she stops taking medication and enjoy an active sexual life, that could improve her mood a lot. What could be more pleasurable than sex? ^^ It’s not like I’m against any medication but….I think depression can be treated with just the power of will.

Also, she could try switching or additionally taking Wellbutrin, that tends to counteract the sexual side effects of the drug. It can also make you kind of speedy though, I couldn't take it as I wasn't able to sleep on it.
