Antidepressant's Side Effect: No Romance!

Antidepressant's Side Effect: No Romance!


Prozac

Antidepressant/Antilove
Anthropologist Helen Fisher and psychiatrist James Thomson collaborated in a study that concluded that antidepressants alter brain chemistry resulting in diminishing a desire for romance. Antidepressants decrease levels of dopamine (a brain chemical of pleasure that plays an important role in creating an urge for love and romance).
In the study, women who took antidepressant looked at attractive men in photos and thought the men to be not so attractive.
