Lately, you’ve been finding it difficult to find a reason to get out of bed. Things you used to enjoy have become tedious and joyless. When your friends invite you out for a night on the town, you opt to sit alone on your couch. If you’ve noticed that your mental headspace has changed drastically, you may be suffering from depression. Depression is like a rainy day funk that you can’t seem to bring yourself out of. It can take control of your life, and it can begin to feel as if there is no escape.
To add insult to injury, many men who suffer from severe depression find it difficult to achieve an erection. When your body is dealing with these psychological issues, it may struggle to achieve an erection. When you begin to lose your erection, this could send a man further spiraling into depression, exacerbating the problem.
While depression-induced erectile dysfunction can feel unshakeable, this simply isn’t true. If you’re suffering from ED brought on by your depression, you need to talk to someone to figure out how to overcome your mental issues.
A therapist or psychologist can walk you through your depression, and together you can formulate a way to get out of this funk. With careful planning and strict adherence to the plan, you can eventually claw yourself out of your depression. Once you’ve overcome depression, you should see your erection return to its former glory. So to conquer your ED, you must first conquer your depression.
