3. Depression
Depression may seem like an obvious reason for having a low sex drive but the truth is, no one knows exactly how depression affects the libido. A study showed that 70 percent of depressed and non-medicated patients experienced a loss of interest in sex. While it makes sense that someone who can barely climb out of bed also does not have the energy or drive to be intimate, it is unclear which part of the brain is associating itself with depression and intimacy. The study went on to explain that antidepressants do not help the overall situation and equally lower the libido.
