Calls for the NHS to treat sex addiction

Linda Blair May 29, 2018 Reviews Leave a Comment

The topic of sex addiction is a controversial one. Now, there are calls for the NHS to fund treatment of the condition, even though many health professionals believe isn’t actually a true disease like other addictions.

Relate, the relationships charity, is asking the NHS to fund treatment for sex addicts, saying that the condition has a devastating impact on those affected. It describes those suffering from sex addiction as having out-of-control urges and compulsions that are unavoidable and need professional help.

The World Health Organisation is expected to add Sex Addiction into its international disease classification register from May next year, according to reports by the BBC. The NHS is uncertain whether it should make treatment available, especially with the current wave of budget cuts amidst its funding crisis.

Ruined lives

Certainly, those suffering from sex addiction can find that it ruins their lives. Many say that the addiction ruins their relationships and seeks them to crave sex constantly throughout the day. Some sufferers have said that they’ve lost their jobs, their friends and their families as a result of the compulsion, which can cause sufferers to seek out sex constantly.

The dangers of sex addiction

Others end up using sex worker services to manage their compulsions or end up cheating on their partners. Those who do can end up with additional health concerns, such as STIs or unwanted pregnancies. Organisations that offer services for an STI test in Bexley can find that their clients include those struggling to deal with the condition. Find out more at https://www.checkurself.org.uk/plus/

Sex Addicts Anonymous is one organisation that exists to help people dealing with the disease, and they offer treatment based on abstinence. There is also the Association for the Treatment of Sex Addiction and Compulsivity (ATSAC), which offers help to individuals and families affected by the condition. They say that the problem is a medical one and that it is becoming more common.

Relate explains that although treatment is available through one-to-one counselling, psychiatric services and group support, it is expensive when delivered privately.

Getting help

Currently, the NHS suggests that those who believe they may have a sex addiction should see their GP and seek help through the NHS Choices resources, which includes a list of resources and charities that can help.
