The man on antidepressants
I was diagnosed with a mood disorder aged 24, and have been taking antidepressants on and off ever since. I’m grateful that my medication keeps the emotional thunderstorms at bay, but what I’m not thankful for are the side-effects, which include sexual dysfunction.
Friends tell me to try Chinese medicine or Viagra, but they’re missing the point: I can get an erection, no problem, but when it comes to sex, I’m simply not interested. I could have the entire Chippendales troupe stripping in my living room and I would just want them to move out of the way so I could watch Game Of Thrones.
