NSSS-SF Fr, Depression and Anxiety
- Significant differences between subjects exhibiting depressive (Table 7) or anxious symptomatology (Table 8) and those without, as indicated by the MDI or the GAD. Furthermore, as the intensity of symptoms increases, sexual satisfaction diminishes, whether considered globally (total NSSS-SF Fr score) or in its two sub-dimensions. The only notable exception pertains to individuals with mild symptoms, who do not appear significantly different from those with no symptoms, particularly in the partner and activities subscale.
