The Role of Psychological Factors in Erectile Dysfunction

The Role of Psychological Factors in Erectile Dysfunction

The mind plays an important role in sex - and in erectile function. In some cases, erectile dysfunction can have a psychological rather than a physical cause. If your doctor suspects your erectile dysfunction is linked to a psychological condition, you may need treatment for that condition or your doctor may refer you to a specialist such as a psychiatrist or counselor. Your doctor may want to see your partner as well, and may recommend that you both see a specialist.
