Psychological Factors

Psychological factors are the root cause of erectile dysfunction in about 10%–20% of cases. In such circumstances, a patient is said to have psychogenic erectile dysfunction. Stress, relationship problems, or psychological illnesses can impair the signals from the brain that initiate the chain of biological events needed for an erection. Frequently, the fundamental problem is anxiety or depression. One recent study found that erectile dysfunction is nearly twice as common among depressed men as it is among those who aren’t depressed. Physical causes of ED can result in psychological difficulties, which contribute even more to the overall ED problems experienced by the man. ED caused only by psychological causes is found most commonly in young men. Here’s a list of common psychological causes of ED: Anxiety – due to any number of factors Bereavement – loss of a loved one Depression – can cause ED even when a man is completely comfortable in sexual situations Job loss – and its resultant anxiety and self-esteem issues Guilt – a man may feel guilty that he is not satisfying his partner, or have guilt for other reasons Performance anxiety – a common cause of erectile dysfunction. Due to anxiety about his ability to “perform,” a man may find he cannot perform (Cialis Levitra Viagra), causing more anxiety, and completing a vicious cycle.
