Can sex be a way to relieve stress? Absolutely! As can alcohol, and most other "vices." It channels all that energy through a single focal point until it's hopefully out of ones system and one can go about their day.
That being said, I'd say it's only good for minor or temporary manifestations of stress and angst. If someone has a long term history of depression or panic attacks, trying to self medicate through sex and drugs isn't going to solve anything. After the high there's going to be a comedown and it's probably going to hit harder. Not the sexy answer, but fucking is no substitute for therapy.
To sum it up, sex can be a good stress relief for minor cases, but if one is looking to overcome depression, then for heaven's sake go see a professional. Fucking the pain away doesn't work.

Masturbation can be beneficial for stress relief when practiced in moderation. However, if it starts taking a negative toll on your mental health and prevents you from showing up in other areas of your life, know that you aren’t alone in your challenges.
