Table 63-1 DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for hypoactive sexual desire disorder
A. Persistently or recurrently deficient (or absent) sexual fantasies
and desire for sexual activity. The judgment of deficiency or absence
is made by the clinician, taking into account factors that affect
sexual functioning, such as age and the context of the person's life.
B. The disturbance causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.
C.
The sexual dysfunction is not better accounted for by another Axis I
disorder (except another sexual dysfunction) and is not due exclusively
to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of
abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition.
