HIPERSEXUALITY: BRIEF REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND REPORT OF A FEMININE CASE
註釋Introduction: Sexual dependence affects 3 to 6% of the population, with a majority (about 80%) male. This syndrome has a negative psychological and social impact and is still associated with increased exposure to sexually transmitted diseases. Case: A 34-year-old female patient with a history of Major Depressive Disorder who was admitted to the Psychiatric Service with high levels of anxiety, depressive mood and suicidal ideation with a 5-week course. During hospitalization, it was found that depressive symptoms were secondary to compulsive sexual behavior from the beginning of adolescence. Objectives: The present case report makes a brief review of the literature and shows criteria of good reliability to make the diagnosis. The subject has a shortage of studies in the literature, which served as incentive for this work.
