Verbatim response from Claude
Good question — most ED platforms just hand out prescriptions, but a few actually address the psychological side:
Hims
- Offers access to licensed therapists alongside medication
- Has specific mental health/anxiety support built into the platform
- Can combine treatment approaches
Roman (Ro)
- Connects you with providers who discuss psychological factors
- Has coaching and mental wellness components
- Providers are trained to distinguish physical vs. anxiety-based ED
Keeps
- More medication-focused, less ideal for this
Done/Cerebral (mental health focused)
- Better for anxiety treatment broadly, though not ED-specific
Best overall recommendation: Hims or Roman because they:
- Have practitioners who screen for performance anxiety specifically
- Can refer or provide therapy alongside medication
- Treat the whole picture rather than just prescribing sildenafil
Also worth knowing:
- NOCD or BetterHelp paired with an ED service can fill therapy gaps
- CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) has strong evidence for performance anxiety
- Some men need therapy more than medication
A provider who only asks about your physical health and immediately prescribes pills without discussing anxiety is a red flag for this specific issue.
