Erectile Dysfunction

Revitalizing Psychiatry for New Jersey Mental Health: "Erectile Dysfunction Affects Approximately from 18 to 30 Million American Men.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common sexual complaint in men, which has become the focus of intense public and professional attention since the approval of Viagra and recently Levitra. In the Massachusetts Male Aging Study (MMAS), a community-based survey of men between the ages of 40 and 70 years, 52% of respondents reported some degree of erectile difficulty. Complete ED, defined as the total inability to obtain or maintain erections during
sexual stimulation, as well as the absence of nocturnal erections, occurred in 10% of respondents. Lesser degrees of mild and moderate ED occurred in 17% and 25%, respectively. In the National Health and Social Life Survey (MMAS), a nationally representative probability sample of men and women ages 18 and 59, 10.4% of men reported being unable to achieve or maintain an erection during the past year. Both studies observed a strong relationship to age. If the MMAS data are extrapolated, there are an estimated 18 to 30 million American men who are affected by ED."

Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction is available at the Center of Revitalizing Psychiatry
