For what's hard to say.
Some problems never get said out loud: about the mind, about sex, about the relationship. They are exactly what I treat, as a doctor, with care and complete discretion.

Why together
These problems rarely stay in one place
Low desire can be the first sign of depression. Erectile difficulty can be an early signal from the heart. Anxiety strains a relationship, and the strain feeds the anxiety.
Because I am trained in both Psychiatry and Sexual Medicine, I look at mind, body and relationship in the same consultation. I measure what's going on, treat the cause, and track whether it is improving.
