Masturbation can help patients release stress to a certain extent and has a certain effect on alleviating the symptoms of depression. However, the emotional state that leads to depression is triggered by psychological factors, usually through a combination of psychotherapy and medication. Masturbation can only solve the sexual desire at the time, but cannot completely cure depression. In addition, frequent masturbation will seriously affect a person&39;s physical health, so masturbation cannot be used to relieve the symptoms of depression.
