The erectile dysfunction drug Levitra made with the compound vardenafil has been found to cure impotence and depression in males. It seems pretty obvious that the two ailments go hand in hand and feeling depressed is nearly always found with impotent males. However until recently no clinical tests had been done to prove and record the data on the health benefits to the mental state of a patient of erectile dysfunction when using Levitra according to the AJP (American Journal of Psychiatry).

A recent research analysis in New Jersey in America looked at the link and effectiveness of Levitra in nearly 300 males with erectile dysfunction and previously untreated mental depression. The participants were given either Levitra or a placebo for 3 months and the results were noted.

The statistics showed that those who took the Levitra all had a better erectile function. The Levitra drug gave the participants better intercourse satisfaction, orgasms, general well being and heightened sexual desire. As far as the depression was concerned, the results showed betterment with Levitra use. Overall nearly 60% reported a reduction in being depressed compared to those who took the placebo who only reported thirty two percent.

This research is important is important as it seems to show that the Levitra drug can cure depression to some extent, irrespective of whether the original cause of the depression is actually related to their erectile dysfunction. The researchers were very encouraged by the results and said that the idea that the treatment of physical symptoms in a depressed man could help him recover his mental health was gaining credence and merited further and more extensive research.
