Sexual problems among depressed people are well documented. I thought that
loss of affection, as distinct from loss of interest in sexual activity,
was a distinct issue. According to the following link, it is not:

http://www.cambsmentalhealthinfo.nhs.uk/support/depression.html

"Loss of interest in sex
Seek non-sexual activities with your partner that you still enjoy. Explain
to your partner that your loss of interest and affection is a symptom of
your depression, not a rejection of him or her, and that these symptoms
will be temporary."

Temporary? At least they say that depression is treatable, not always
curable. My wife, being a pharmacist, knows about the side-effects of
antidepressants.

The link is a very good summary. I was going to do a page on depression for
men, but the linked page says it all.
