Women who are depressed have more sex than normal women, according to a study in Australia. Females who are suffering from mild to moderate depression have 3 times more sexual activity than normal women. These findings were presented at an International mental Health Conference in Melbourne.
Depressed women are more sexually liberated and want variety of sexual experiences. Research was conducted on 107 depressed and non-depressed women. Results of the study will be published in the “British Medical Journal”. Why depression increases sexual activity?
Depressed women feel insecure in their personal lives and relationships. They feel secure through sex.
Significant psychological trends:
1. Drop in abortion rates.
2. Increase in severe PMS cases.
3. Rise in post-natal depression.
Depressed people generally tend to eat more and want more sex. They want deep and secure relationships. Psychological counselling is beneficial for these women.
