A counterpart to compulsive sexual behaviour disorder was proposed and then not included in the DSM-5 at all.
“A counterpart to compulsive sexual behaviour disorder was proposed and then not included in the DSM-5 at all 16 .”
There was substantial criticism of the DSM-5 hypersexual disorder proposal; the main arguments were that it pathologized normal variation, that there was insufficient evidence of its validity as a distinct clinical syndrome, and that the diagnosis could be misused in forensic settings.
“There was substantial criticism of the proposal. The main arguments against it were that it represented a pathologization of normal variation (i.e., high sex drive), that there was insufficient evidence of its validity as a distinct clinical syndrome, and fears that the diagnosis could be misused in forensic settings by individuals seeking to evade responsibility for sexual misbehaviour 16,240 .”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
