Hypoactive
Sexual Desire Disorder
Category
Sexual
Disorders and Dysfunctions
Etiology
Some
evidence suggests that relationship issues and/or sexual trauma in
childhood may play a role in the development of this disorder. Life
stressors or other interpersonal difficulties.
Symptoms
Deficient
or absent sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity. This judgment
must be made by a clinician taking into account the individuals age and
life circumstances. The lack of desire must result in significant distress
for the individual and is not better accounted for by another disorder or
physical diagnosis.
Treatment
Typical
treatment would involve discovering and resolving underlying conflict or
life difficulties.
Prognosis
The
course of this disorder can be consistent or periodic, and can therefore
resurface after a period of remission if relationship or life stressors
re-emerges.
