ORIGINAL RESEARCH-PSYCHOLOGY: Depression Resulting from Olfactory Dysfunction is Associated with Reduced Sexual Appetite-A Cross-Sectional Cohort Study

It seems that depression caused by olfactory loss is the main cause for the self-reported decrease in sexual appetite as the onset of olfactory dysfunction.
