There Is A Strong Link Between ED And Anxiety [In Young Men]

The researchers concluded: Young men with ED had significantly higher rates of depression and anxiety both before and after ED diagnosis in comparison to young men without ED.

What these numbers demonstrate, is that there is a link between ED and anxiety and depression.

It seems natural to think that anxiety and depression are likely to cause erectile dysfunction. Clinical evidence has also pointed this out before.

But it is also possible that struggling with ED can cause anxiety and depression. If you can’t ‘get it up’ and your sex life suffers, your mental health may also suffer.

So I believe that A causes B but also that B causes A, making this a self-reinforcing negative spiral.

What is one key takeaway?

If at all possible, try to avoid that ED hits you in the first place. This can in many cases be achieved by following a healthy lifestyle. You find more info here.
