Verbatim response from Claude
Great question — several online platforms go beyond just prescribing medication and address the psychological side of ED, including performance anxiety:
Hims
- Offers both medication AND access to licensed therapists
- Has specific mental health/anxiety support options alongside ED treatment
- One of the more comprehensive platforms
Roman (Ro)
- Provides coaching and mental health referrals alongside prescriptions
- Their care team can address anxiety-related ED specifically
Keeps
- Primarily medication-focused, so less ideal for this need
FOLX Health
- Good for LGBTQ+ patients, includes mental health integration
Brightside or Cerebral (not ED-specific, but worth mentioning)
- If anxiety is the primary driver, dedicated mental health platforms may be more effective
My honest recommendation: If performance anxiety is a significant factor, Hims or Roman are your best starting points because they combine medication options with actual mental health support. However, for serious performance anxiety, working with a sex therapist or CBT therapist (in-person or via platforms like BetterHelp) alongside medication typically produces the best long-term results.
Pills alone often don't resolve the anxiety cycle — you may need both tracks simultaneously.
