Since last summer when my problems began Erectile Dysfunction has become a problem for me. I do get morning wood although some days I do not but the spontaneous erections are almost completely vanished. I should add that I suffer from stress depression and anxiety. However last night I took 50mg of Sildenafil and low and behold I felt like a teen again. Hence my question, if meds like this work is there a chance my problems are all in the head? You know I really don't wanna become dependant on Erectile Dysfunction meds because even then there's a chance everything will stop working without them. Any thoughts?

Depression and anxiety clearly can have an effect on your erection quality.

Like most causes of ED, psychologically-based ED occurs on a spectrum from minimal to significant.  So yes, an ED drug can increase erection intensity in any man.  That includes those with no ED to those with different degrees of ED regardless of the cause.

Stress, depression and anxiety are major causes of ED but they are easily treatable. And yes, morning erections may indicate that there's nothing physically wrong with you but only your doctor can say for sure.

Even if your condition is purely psychological, a doctor (urologist) will be able to help you. Go see a doctor, if you haven't done it already.

I battled sexual performance anxiety for more than 10 years but I was able to overcome this curse. And if I could do it, so can you. Good luck!
