Sexual relationship disorder

Sexual relationship disorder was a diagnostic category listed in the tenth edition of the World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases, the ICD-10, the most widely used diagnostic manual among psychiatrists and psychologists worldwide. It described a person who had difficulty forming or maintaining a sexual relationship because of their gender identity or sexual orientation. In 2014 it was determined that there was no justification for the category, and the diagnosis was not carried into the ICD-11, which came into effect in January 2022. It is recorded here as a historical diagnosis whose standing was withdrawn, and this is not medical advice.
