Some Causes for Depression
Rossi Davis, Psy.D
Depression may be triggered by different things not only psychological but things such as- allergies, hormonal changes, sensitivity to certain foods, low levels of B and D vitamins, a sleep disorder, thyroid or adrenaline gland dysfunction, neurotoxins, etc.
It may be useful to see a neurologist who conducts sleep studies. They can rule out sleep disorders as the main cause for the depression. A blood test can also look at hormonal levels and vitamin deficiency. Some studies show that depressed individuals have increased levels of inflammation in the body.

Low Libido in Women
Rossi Davis, Psy.D
There are multiple causes both psychological and physiological. Your physician can administer a hormonal panel test. It is a blood test where the levels of your hormones are tested. Changes in hormones can affect your libido and whether you can orgasm.
After a woman has a baby, the level of prolactin in the body changes. That can affect sexual desire.
Besides medical intervention, there are other natural options used by women. Women also produce testosterone which affects the libido. Natural supplements that can be used are Tribulus, Macuna Pruriens and Maca. Ssupplementing with oxytocin can also be helpful as well as introduce some novelty in one's sexual life.
Other factors that can influence one's libido are depression, certain medications, anxiety and painful intercourse.
