Popis:	In this article, we review the diagnosis, classification, and differential diagnosis of problematic hypersexuality. The estimated frequency, morbidity, comorbidity, mortality, and the associated societal issues underscore the necessity for improved recognition, better understanding, and more effective treatment for this disorder. In general, hypersexual behavior does not seem to be evaluated, classified, or monitored in the same manner as other innate behaviors like feeling, thinking, sleep, or eating, despite the fact that hypersexual behavior is among the criteria for several psychiatric disorders. More widespread clinical use of acceptable diagnostic criteria for problematic hypersexuality would further elucidate the relationships among problematic hypersexuality and other psychiatric disorders.
