is sex a method that people use to get rid of depression?

True depression would cause the person to loose intrest in any and everything they normally would enjoy. Sex would be one of those things. The person in a depressed state would not want to really be bothered sexually because it will not get rid of the depression.
 
Yes it does help because as your having sex with your loved one your brain releases Serotonin because you're feeling a lot of love and joy (hopefully ;]) . The reason why you're depressed is because your brain isn't releasing the desired amount of Serotonin. And not only are you not depressed during sex, you also are euphoric for a while afterwords.
However, if you're depressed and don't or cant see a doctor, I suggest trying an Herbal Supplement called St.John's Wort or Valerian Root which you can find at any store. It helps with depression and feelings of anxiety.
 
Yes some people do use sex to cope with their problems including depression. Some people believe that will make them feel better but they don't understand once that pleasure is over the depression comes back
 
I've never heard of such thing but I wouldn't be surprised if people actually did do this.
 
Yes but unless your in a healthy loving relationship it can lead to more depression because of the guilt and shame it can bring. It can lower your self esteem if the person you are dealing with tells everyone about you,it can lead to std's,or even unwanted pregnancy.In conclusion it is better to talk about your issues and deal with them head on instead of looking for a crutch or another problem on top of the ones you already have.
Stay sweet !
