Summary

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the impact of illness perception and depressive symptoms on treatment outcomes in adult male patients diagnosed with erectile dysfunction (ED).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is there a relationship between negative illness perception and increased severity of depressive symptoms in ED patients? Does the change in illness perception over time correlate with changes in erectile function and depression levels?

Participants will:

Complete the IIEF-5 (International Index of Erectile Function - 5) to assess erectile dysfunction severity, Complete the B-IPQ (Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire) to evaluate their cognitive and emotional representations of ED, Complete the PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire - 9) to measure depressive symptoms, Repeat these assessments at baseline and at a 1-month follow-up. This study does not involve any intervention or comparison group. It is designed to track psychological and clinical changes over time and explore modifiable psychological predictors in the management of ED.
