Obsessive-compulsive disorder, fear, worry

Patient's question:

I have been suddenly forcing myself to think about not being able to get an erection for the past two weeks. During the day, it's like there's someone in my head constantly telling me I can't, that I can't be hard. At night, I keep waking up suddenly, and I'm always tense all over, trembling with fear. Actually, I'm not experiencing any issues with erections, and my sexual life is also very harmonious. In these two weeks, I've had two sexual encounters and two instances of masturbation. I actually know that I'm fine.

Doctor's answer:

Depression is a type of neurosis, a mood disorder! It is characterized by low mood, reduced interest, slowed thinking, and decreased verbal and motor activity. Depression has three main symptoms: low mood, slowed thinking, and motor inhibition. Various antidepressants, physical therapy (such as pain-relieving and sleep-inducing pillows), and psychotherapy can all treat depression.
