6D3Z Paraphilic disorder, unspecified

591 Paraphilic disorders Boundary with other mental disorders in the context of sexual behaviours that are atypical for the individual Sexual behaviours that are atypical for the individual that do not reflect an underlying, persistent pattern of sexual arousal may occur in the context of some mental disorders, such as bipolar type I disorder during manic or mixed episodes, or dementia. If the sexual behaviours involved do not reflect an underlying, persistent pattern of sexual arousal, a diagnosis of paraphilic disorder involving solitary behaviour or consenting individuals should not be assigned. Boundary with gender incongruence of adolescence or adulthood Individuals who have a focused and intense pattern of sexual arousal involving cross-dressing might qualify for the diagnosis of paraphilic disorder involving solitary behaviour or consenting individuals if they are markedly distressed by having this pattern of arousal. A history of sexual excitement in association with cross-dressing can sometimes be a feature of gender incongruence that develops in adolescence or adulthood, but such a history is not a sufficient basis for diagnosing paraphilic disorder involving solitary behaviour or consenting individuals.
