    PARAPHILIC DISORDER

    - Persistent, strong sexual thoughts, cravings, or actions focused on non-normative targets, activities, or
    objects are characteristics of paraphilic disorders. These preferences may hinder or cause distress in a
    number of aspects of life.
    - Exhibitionism, fetishism, transvestic disorder, and pedophilia are among the common examples.
    Specific criteria are used for diagnosis, and disorders are officially acknowledged when they have a major
    negative influence on an individual's quality of life.
    - It's crucial to remember that not all unusual sexual interests—unless they result in significant distress or
    impairment—qualify as paraphilic illnesses.
    OTHER DISORDERS
    Voyeuristic disorder - Sexual excitement from witnessing an unwitting individual, typically undressing or
    having sex.
    Exhibitionistic Disorder - The arousal that results from showing one's genitalia to people, frequently
    without permission.
    Frotteuristic Disorder - When a non-consenting person is touched or rubbed against, it might arouse
    sexual desire.
    Pedophilic Disorder - Sexual attraction to minors who are not yet pubescent.
    Fetishistic Disorder - Arousal by inanimate items or by regions of the body that aren't usually connected
    to sexual pleasure.
    Transvestic Disorder - When heterosexual men cross dress to attain sexual arousal.
    WHAT IS EXHIBITIONISTIC DISORDER?
    - Exhibitionistic Disorder is a mental health condition marked by repetitive and strong impulses to expose
    one's genitals or engage in sexual acts without consent from unsuspecting individuals.
    - The motivation behind these actions is the pursuit of excitement and arousal rather than establishing
    emotional or romantic connections. It's important to note that this behavior can lead to distress and
    impairment for both the individual with the disorder and those unintentionally witnessing it.
    - Seeking professional help and therapy is often advised for managing and addressing Exhibitionistic
    Disorder.
    TREATMENT
    - Treatment of exhibitionistic disorder usually begins after exhibitionists are arrested. It includes
    psychotherapy, support groups, and antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
    THINGS YOU CAN DO
    - Prioritize safety for yourself and others.
    - Avoid encouraging the exhibitionistic behavior.
    - Report the situation to the relevant authorities.
    - Encourage the individual to seek help from a mental health professional (specializing sexual disorder).
    - Focus on the well-being of everyone involved.
