Thank you,
XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your son has problem of erectile dysfunction since a long time.
He was diagnosed to have psychological depression and was advised to tale anti depressant drugs but he discontinued taking drugs.
His problem of erectile dysfunction could be due to depression it self.
However it will be better to consult a qualified XXXXXXX for detail clinical evaluation.He may need to undergo following basic tests to find out the cause of his erectile dysfunction
1) Serum Testosterone and serum Prolactin
2) Thyroid Hormone study.
3)Blood sugar estimation to rule out diabetes.
4) Penile Doppler Ultrasound scanning to rule out arterial insufficiency or venous occlusion of penile circulation.
Please consult psychiatrist and Urologist for further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me I shall be happy to help you
