I'm 31 and having trouble with ED. I believe the cause of my problem is my anxiety/depression(?). Has anyone had a similar experience? Also, has anyone overcome their ED problem by recovering from anxiety/depression?
I am new to the program - in my first week - and I am not sure that my physical problem is reversible. Looking for advice and some hope.
Guy here, too. I've never had a problem with ED, either on or off meds. But, I would definitely recommend that you see a urologist before assuming that your problem is psychological. There are some diseases that can cause ED, heart disease diabetes, etc. I think you have those ruled out first. Then, you'll know what kind of ED you're dealing with.
Whether or not it's physical or psychological, there are lots of treatments now. So don't lose hope, it's likely you'll be able to function "normally" once you figure out the cause.

Thanks for your input. I have seen a urologist and other specialists. They cannot find anything wrong with me on a physical level. It is very scary and frustrating. I'm hoping that as I work the Attacking .....program, I will see improvement with the ED. It feels like my last chance.
