Erectile dysfunction is very common. It's said that virtually all men will experience erectile dysfunction at some point in life. There are many causes of erectile dysfunction and impotence. Although many male supplements and medicines focus on treating physical symptoms of erectile dysfunction in older men, it is important to note that a common cause of erectile dysfunction is psychological.
Depression and Erectile Dysfunction
Common symptoms of depression are weakness, fatigue, feelings of worthlessness, agitation, erectile dysfunction and significant changes in weight. The National Institute of Mental Health claims that nearly "6 million men have depression each year" in America. When left untreated, the symptoms can manifest into social and relationship difficulties.
Erectile dysfunction is considered to be present when the male does not achieve an erection sufficient enough to perform sexual intercourse. Other sexual problems which may be experienced when depression is present are reduced sexual drive and delayed ejaculation.
