"Have you been feeling hot flashes lately? Maybe you're a little bit moody? Maybe you look in the mirror and you don't look like yourself anymore. Not like you used to when you were younger. Hi, I'm Virginia Intelisano, a registered mental health intern with the state of Florida, and I'm here to talk to you about why women lose their libido. Stress is one of the factors as to why women lose their libido. Stress can come from all different areas in your life. If you are a mother and if you're a wife or holding a job, you can have stress from many different directions. That's why taking care of yourself with good diet and exercise to relieve that stress is important. Also, older women experience hormonal changes. This comes with mood swings. This comes with fatigue, this comes with hot flashes. As an older woman, we can go and see a doctor to relieve some of these issues. I spoke to you a little bit about why women lose their sex drive. Now, if you have any other questions, I suggest that you go contact a local mental health professional, or a doctor in your area to help you with this. Believe me, your safety and your sanity is imperative. Have a great day."
