what is ed mental health

ED mental health refers to the psychological causes of erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection during sex due to physical or psychological factors. Psychological causes of ED include depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, and other mental health conditions. A single occurrence of ED can be a very distressing event, and fear, anxiety, and stress are common emotional responses. If you experience ED, it is important to talk about it with your doctor, even if you feel embarrassed, as there are many effective treatments available. A physical exam and answering some basic questions about your medical history is usually all that is needed to diagnose ED.
