🧠  Mental Health and Its Connection to Sexual Wellness

Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health conditions can deeply affect libido, arousal, and sexual satisfaction. And yet, we rarely talk about how the mind and body are linked in our sex lives.

Mental health can affect:

• Interest in sex (low libido)

• Ability to get aroused or orgasm

• Communication and emotional closeness

• Physical energy and focus

What you can do:

• Be kind to yourself. Sexuality can ebb and flow—especially during mental health struggles.

• Seek therapy: Mental health support can improve every aspect of your life—including intimacy.

• Keep the conversation open: Tell your partner what you’re going through. Let them support you.

You are not broken. You are human. And you are still worthy of love and pleasure.
