(HealthDay News) - While male impotence can be caused by physical factors -- including high blood pressure, diabetes and injury -- other triggers can be emotional.

The American Academy of Family Physicians offers this list of possible emotional causes for erectile dysfunction:

• Feeling depressed.
• Feelings of anxiety or nervousness.
• Stress from work, family or financial problems.
• Unresolved issues between you and your sexual partner.
