A case of excessive sexual drive or satyriasis
Abstract
Excessive or abnormal sexual desire in males is called satyriasis. The International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD-10) describes it under the category of sexual dysfunction, not caused by organic disorder or disease (F 52).
We describe a young male who presented following a suicide attempt in the context of depressive symptoms which were precipitated by marital conflicts due to his increased sexual desire.
