title: Disorders of sexual impulse control in neuropsychiatric conditions.
abstract: This article reviews hypersexuality in individuals with neuropsychiatric disorders and its psychopharmacologic treatment. A brief review of the neurology, neuroendocrinology, and neuropharmacology of sexual behavior is presented. Literature describing the occurrence and treatment of hypersexuality in individuals with neuropsychiatric disorders is reviewed along with literature which discusses the pharmacologic treatment of individuals with hypersexual disorders in nonneuropsychiatric populations. Finally, a clinical algorithm for approaching and treating such disorders in a neuropsychiatric population is presented.
