Several psychological conditions have been associated with ED. These include:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Feelings of self-inadequacy
  • Low self-esteem
  • Inability to describe emotions
  • Stress

Social ideas of how men and women are supposed to interact can also contribute to ED. These can include unrealistic expectations about love and sexuality, and inappropriate male and female role models.

ED is sometimes the cause and sometimes the result of unsatisfying or dysfunctional relationships. It is often difficult to find out which started first.
