While some of the decrease in mortality can be attributed to a broader use of screening mammography, a significant portion of this is also due to the increased use of systemic therapies in the adjuvant setting. Identification of effective new agents for the treatment of metastatic disease has also resulted in prolonged survival and improved quality of life.

Diagnosis and management of sexual dysfunction associated with antidepressants has been the topic of a series of articles published in Primary Psychiatry since 1995. Still, even though sexual dysfunction (SD) has now been recognized as a serious side effect of antidepressant drugs, not all studies report SD. Some of the reports on efficacy and tolerability of antidepressants may still be reporting data from an era when not much attention was paid to SD, while other studies use old side effects—report- ing tools that do not list SD, or spontaneous reporting, which does not yield the best information on SD. Finally, some studies may simply try to avoid the issue of sexual dysfunction for marketing reasons.
