found its effects underwhelming, and it didn't help that patients were not supposed to consume alcohol.
This is a condition that is largely unrecognized by women as well as by physicians, and partly that's because there just haven't been good treatments. It's similar to depression, which was stigmatized many years ago before there were good treatment options. Previously, people sort of thought: This is not a real condition, this is something that pharmaceutical companies have made up. What's really amazing to me is speaking to women suffering from this condition. Hearing their stories and the significant impact it had on their lives, it's really just mind-boggling to me that this has been even questioned as a real condition.
When you don't want to have sexual desire — at work, for instance — you need those inhibitory signaling pathways. But when you want to have sexual desire, you need those stimulatory pathways as well. When there is an imbalance, you end up with issues of having sexual desire when you want it. So what we're trying to do is restore that balance.
