AB  - INTRODUCTION: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in depression albeit common is 
      strikingly understudied. The condition, if addressed properly, can be readily 
      cured, improving the quality of life of the patient. METHODS: A consecutive 
      sample of drug-naive married female patients with depression was assessed. 
      Depression was diagnosed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis 
      I Disorders (SCID-I). Depression severity was assessed using the Hamilton 
      Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), and sexual dysfunction, the Female Sexual 
      Function Index (FSFI). RESULTS: Sexual dysfunction was found in 90% of the 
      patients in our study. Patients with medical comorbidities showed a significant 
      decrease in the desire subset of the FSFI (Mann-Whitney U=11.0, p=0.009), however 
      there was no significant association with other subsets. Patients who expressed 
      passive death wishes had higher scores on all indicators of sexual function and a 
      significantly higher score in the orgasm subset of the FSFI (Mann-Whitney U=11.0, 
      p=0.009). CONCLUSION: The study showed a high prevalence of FSD in depressed 
      females regardless of type and severity of depression. Depression with medical 
      comorbidities was associated with a significant decrease in desire. Patients who 
      expressed passive death wishes showed improved sexual function and significantly 
      better orgasm.
