What Causes Erectile Dysfunction Despite Having Anxiety Disorder?

Im 21, with an anxiety disorder for a couple years now and I have just noticed that I have troubles with my erections. I can t get an erection while standing up without constantly giving attention to my penis. I also have low libito and sex drive for 2 months or so. This is making me very depressed and I have no idea what to do because all my blood tests came out good. Any help would be useful. Thank you.

Hello dear
Understand your concern
I think psychiatric problem like anxiety and that lead to depression are the main cause of erectile dysfunctions.
You should consult the psychiatric for treatment and proper evaluation.
First you have to take anti anxiety drugs which will be prescribed by psychiatric. Take full treatment and do not withdraw without informing psychiatric.For erectile dysfunction doctor may give following advice:
Cognitive behavioral therapy and counselling: active therapy sessions (4-5 days per week, 40-45 minutes/sessions)-that identify the defect in though process and help in treatment.
Start regular exercise like walking followed by medication in the morning for 45 min to 1 hour, be relax , positive and creative, stop alcohol and smoking, loose weight if you are overweight, use double condoms during sex, try women on top position, do pelvic exercise, take high protein diet, fresh fruits and anti oxidant rich items like almonds and Co Q tablet. Tablet gonadil F. If above advice will not work take tablet sildenafil plus paroxentine 30 minutes before sex after proper evaluation.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
