‘Fetishistic disorder’ Meet the Best Psychiatrists - Dr. Anuja Kelkar ( MBBS, MD)

 



Fetishistic Disorder is a paraphilic disorder characterized by recurrent and intense sexual arousal from either nonliving objects or specific body parts not typically associated with sexual stimulation. Individuals with Fetishistic Disorder often experience significant distress or impairment due to their fetishistic fantasies, urges, or behaviors.

Common fetishes may include items such as shoes, undergarments, or objects with specific textures or materials. The fetish object becomes necessary or preferred for sexual arousal and may interfere with normal sexual relationships or functioning.

Treatment for Fetishistic Disorder typically involves psychotherapy, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or behavioral therapy, aimed at identifying and addressing underlying factors contributing to the fetishistic behavior. Therapy may also focus on developing healthier coping mechanisms and addressing any associated distress or impairment. In some cases, medication may be prescribed to target co-occurring mental health conditions or manage sexual urges. It's important to note that consensual fetishistic behavior within a relationship is not considered a disorder unless it causes significant distress or impairment.
