Emotional factors such as anxiety, fear, anger, and trauma, all play a significant role in the causes of TMJ disorders. This is mostly due to the fact that they may cause muscular tension in the jaw, and involuntary grinding of the teeth.

The excessive clenching of the jaw muscles, and the sliding from side to side of the joint, will cause pain which may radiate to the neck, or the surrounding muscles and tissues. This often creates various symptoms which can make a TMJ disorder sometimes difficult to diagnose.

It is not unusual for a man who suffers from MPSA to experience issues with erectile functionality, and have mixed feelings of anger, sadness, frustration, and insecurity. These feelings need to be acknowledged and dealt with, as they can sometimes lead to clinical depression which may need medications whose side effects can make anxiety even worse.

General anxiety, of which performance anxiety is a symptom, is a psychological condition, whose triggers and traumas are lodged in the subconscious mind. However, even if you are able to remember almost every detail from your life, you cannot really recall how many of the events may have influenced you – nor how you may have been affected.

Feeling anxious before sex is normal. But feeling so nervous that you cannot have sex, or enjoy sex, can mean that you have sexual performance anxiety. A person who has this anxiety condition, is often overcome by a fear that he will be unable to perform either before (such as foreplay) or during the sexual encounter.

TMJ is a term used to describe the temporo-mandibular joint, which connects the mandible (jawbone) to the skull. It allows you to move your jaw up and down and from side to side, so that you can talk, chew, and yawn.

Grinding and clenching your teeth is a widespread and an unpleasant problem. It may sound relatively harmless, but continually grinding and gnashing your teeth, may become a habit which can lead to long-term damage to your teeth. The medical name for this condition is known as Bruxism, and unfortunately many people do not even seem to realise that they have the condition.
