Compulsive sexual behaviour disorder , also known as hypersexual disorder, is a pattern of behavior involving intense preoccupation with sexual fantasies and behaviours that cause distress, are inappropriately used to cope with stress, cannot be voluntarily curtailed, and risk or cause harm to oneself or others. This disorder can also cause impairment in social, occupational or other important functions.
CSBD is not a diagnosis found in ICD-10 or DSM-5. It was proposed in 2010 for inclusion in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition of the American Psychiatric Association , but was ultimately not approved. ICD-11 currently includes a diagnosis for "Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Disorder", which is categorized under "Impulse Control Disorders".
