Is clinical or situational depression linked to sex?
I mean sexuality not gender. I don't know very much about the hormones associated with sexuality. I do know that the hormone oxcytocin is released upon orgasm. So many people I know, both male and female complain of being depressed when their sex lives are on the fritz. I wonder if there is a connection. I asked a psychiatrist friend once, he wouldn't answer me, he just laughed and changed the subject. We weren't in an appointment or anything so it was Ok for him to laugh it off. But I wonder, is there a connection?
