Sex addiction refers to excessive sexual thoughts, desires, urges or behaviors that can’t be controlled and cause distress and harm to your relationships, finances and other aspects of your life.

Treatment options for sexual compulsivity or addiction typically involve a combination of therapy, counseling, and support. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), group therapy, and individual counseling are common approaches. Medications may be used in some cases to address underlying issues like anxiety or depression. It's important to seek help from mental health professionals who specialize in this area for personalized guidance.
