A short YouTube video (by Anne Truong MD) addressing the myth that erectile dysfunction (ED) is solely physical. The speaker states that roughly 90% of ED causes are physical/medical and about 10% are psychological (anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues), and emphasizes that treatment should address both interrelated physical and psychological components.

Myth number three is that ED is solely a physical issue. While 90% of the cause of ED is physical or due to medical issues, about 10% is due to psychological roots, such as anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues that contribute to the existing physical causes. So when you're treating ed, you're treating both the psychological and the physical issues of ed, and they both interrelate, because when you have the psychological component, it may contribute to the physical component, and then the physical can contribute to the psychological as well.
