Today, we are joined by Patrick Alonso and Cameron Carrothers, pharmacists and hosts of the Men's Health Unscripted podcast. Patrick and Cameron are passionate about empowering men to explore their health and wellness beyond prescriptions and diagnoses. Together, they delve into the critical connection between mental health and sexual function, offering unique insights and actionable advice.

Mental health is deeply intertwined with s*xual well-being, particularly for men. The unresolved mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and even stress from daily life can significantly impact not only a man’s ability to perform but also his overall desire and connection during intimacy. Today’s digital world can dull emotional and physical responses, making it harder for men to fully engage with their partners.

Today, we are joined by Dr. Jenn Bossio, a highly regarded clinical and health psychologist based in Ontario, Canada. Dr. Bossio joins us today to discuss cognitive behavioral therapy as a treatment for psychogenic er*ctile dysfunction.

Er*ctile dysfunction (ED) can have various origins, including psychological and physical factors, yet many treatments tend to focus on the physical aspect alone. In clinical practice, shifting focus from achieving a “perfect” er*ction to enjoying intimacy can relieve performance anxiety and often leads to better s*xual experiences for both individuals and couples.

In this episode, we dive into Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of depression that many experience, particularly during the winter months. This condition can bring on low moods, irritability, fatigue, and changes in sleep or appetite due to decreased sunlight and shorter days. For those affected, SAD often leads to a feeling of "hibernation," where energy levels drop, and motivation wanes.

The consequences of SAD are not limited to mood; they can also extend to sexual health. Depression and fatigue can significantly impact libido, lowering sexual interest and activity. It’s common for men to experience a decline in libido or even erectile dysfunction as energy and mood diminish. Furthermore, SAD doesn’t just affect individuals—it can impact relationships too. Partners may notice changes in sexual routine or emotional responsiveness, and this shift can strain intimacy.

Today, we are joined by Dr. Petar Bajic, a board-certified urologist and director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Men's Health. With his expertise in men's s*xual health, Dr. Bajic offers valuable insights into Peyronie's disease, a condition that affects up to 1 in 10 men.

Peyronie's disease, which affects up to 1 in 10 men, is often misunderstood and underdiagnosed. This condition causes penile curvature and deformity, but its impact goes far beyond the physical. Many men feel shame or inadequacy, even with mild cases. Interestingly, partners are usually less concerned than the affected individuals.

A growth mindset helps people see challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, even in difficult times. Instead of feeling defeated, those with this mindset look for ways to adapt and solve problems. This is especially important for men dealing with erectile dysfunction (ED), as it can prevent feelings of helplessness and frustration.

In contrast, a fixed mindset can lead to negative emotions like self-doubt and hopelessness. Men with ED who have a fixed mindset may believe nothing can improve their situation, which only adds to their anxiety and stress. This cycle of stress can make ED even harder to manage.
