A study published in a September 2004 issue of the medical journal Neurology reported that 36.5 percent of people with epilepsy suffer from depression.

Researchers have noted a higher incidence of depression among patients with epilepsy than the general population or others with chronic conditions.

So yes, both conditions can contribute to ED.

Answer This
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for his or his partner's sexual needs.
