Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction focuses on the psychological and emotional aspects of erectile dysfunction (ED). While ED is often caused by physical factors, psychological factors like stress, anxiety, and depression can significantly contribute to or worsen the condition. A psychiatrist specializing in sexual health helps address these underlying mental health issues, improving both psychological well-being and sexual function.

Psychological Causes of Erectile Dysfunction:

  • Performance anxiety
  • Stress (work-related, financial, or personal)
  • Depression
  • Relationship problems
  • Trauma or past negative experiences
  • Body image issues and low self-esteem

Common Symptoms Addressed:

  • Persistent difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection
  • Anxiety or fear related to sexual performance
  • Loss of sexual desire due to emotional distress
  • Depression-related sexual dysfunction

When to See a Psychiatrist for ED:

  • When ED is linked to anxiety, depression, or emotional trauma.
  • If you experience performance anxiety or relationship issues.
  • When lifestyle changes and physical treatments have not resolved the problem.
