Absolutely. Mood disorders can have a drastic impact on your sex life and, to make matters worse, most antidepressants (e.g. SSRIs) can cause or aggravate ED. Tianeptine (brand name STABLON) seems to be an exception: it is an antidepressant that can actually improve libido.

Do you know any studies/websites on depression and ED?

As crazy as this sounds, my husband's mood issues resolved completely when he quit eating gluten, casein, soy and eggs. His ED improved too. He did not have gastrointestinal issues, just mood. Very odd! The Paleo or Primal diet is a good way to do this. However, if you see good results, you should check with your doctor for celiac testing, just in case.
