A Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Study of Maca Root for the Treatment of Antidepressant-Induced Sexual Dysfunction in Females

If you are a female, aged 18-80 and experiencing sexual dysfunction due to psychotropic medications for bipolar disorder, you may be eligible to participate at no cost to you in a 12-week research study of a natural compound called Maca Root. Maca Root has been used for centuries in South America for nutritional and medicinal purposes. This study is designed to determine whether Maca Root is effective in the treatment of sexual dysfunction associated with the treatment regimen for bipolar disorder. Participants will be compensated for their time.
