ABSTRACT
The presence of associated or antipsychotics induced sexual disorders complicates the management of schizophrenia. These disorders are not well diagnosed and studied. Evaluate the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in a population of schizophrenic patients taking antipsychotics, and search for associated risk factors. This is a cross-sectional study on 52 schizophrenic patients stabilized on antispychotic. We used the [International Index of Erectile Dysfunction] scale, and the data analyzed by statical software. The prevalence of this disorders is 63.5%. Univariate logistic regression shows that it is related to the type of schizophrenia [paranoid] and antipsychotics association. Related studies show that antipsychotics improve desire and frequency of sexual thoughts, but cause erectile and orgasm dysfunction and decreased sexual satisfaction. Drug combinations are generally not recommended. Sexual disorders induced by antipsychotics in schizophrenics patients are very harmful. These sexual dysfunction must be diagnosed, explained and treated quickly
