Well Susan eventually got to see her GP. Armed with her completed questionnaire, the conclusion of the GP was not depression – but stress.
Yep, ye olde libido killer. And let’s not be unfair here. Susan and I are both stressed, and have had/are having a fairly stressful marriage. Part of the stress killing her libido has probably been stress about not having a libido! Until now I suspect not much however.
Okay I have to say this throws up some questions which I should really ask her, but I don’t really see the point. What made the doctor arrive at stress as as a diagnosis? I am suspicious of the picture painted for the GP by Susan.
Did Susan give a representation of her life now, her marriage as it has been say over the past 3 or 4 years, the whole of her marriage, or her whole adult life? (more…)
