title: [Neuropsychiatry of sexual desire].
abstract: Inspired by the basic concepts of neuroscience, neuropsychiatry is a discipline at the interface between psychiatry, psychology, neurology and neuropathology. Interestingly, neuropsychiatry can also include specialized disciplines, such as developmental psychology, endocrinology and sexology. In this article, we describe the neuropsychiatric approach and present how it may be related to social neuroscience, and apply to sexual medicine by describing its importance for sexual dysfunctions and sexual desire.
