Not Every Bizarre Behavior is Psychosis- A Peculiar Presentation of Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder Mimicking Psychosis - A Case ReportNot Every Bizarre Behavior is Psychosis- A Peculiar Presentation of Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder Mimicki
Sex-related disorders are often underreported entities in developing countries probably due to social stigma, lack of knowledge, and the personal significance of sex in their life [1]. Digital media offers portability, access, and visually explicit depictions of sexual acts in high-definition that leave nothing to the imagination [2]. Terms like sex addiction or compulsive sexuality are not incorporated in DSM-5, however, we do come across such cases in Psychiatry practices. Many sex addicts have an associated psychiatric disorder and there exists a correlation between sex addicts and substance-use disorders (up to 80 percent in some studies), which needs specific treatment in the line of dual diagnosis. The ICD-11 codes for impulse control disorders are 6C70-6C7Z. Impulse control disorders can involve a range of behaviours, including fire-setting, stealing, explosive outbursts, etc. ICD11, in its code 6C72, describes Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Disorder as a separate entity [3]. We are reporting such a case where the initial presentation prompted us to work on the line of Schizophrenia, but later it turned out to be a case of Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Disorder.
