DSM-5: Sexual Dysfunction and Gender Dysphoria-HS

Course overview

These two chapters address a diverse group of mental disorders. Sexual dysfunctions are characterized by a clinically significant disturbance in the individual's ability to respond sexually or experience sexual pleasure. The chapter that follows addresses gender dysphoria, which includes clinical problems created by the lack of congruence that occurs in some people between the gender assigned to them at birth and their experienced or expressed gender. This course will look at both of these DSM-5 chapters, diagnostic criteria and symptoms, as well as the development and prognosis for each of these disorders.
