F66: Psychological and behavioural disorders associated with sexual development and orientation
F66.9: Psychosexual development disorder, unspecified
Psychosexual development disorder, unspecified, refers to a condition where an individual may struggle with aspects of their sexual development. This condition might include issues related to their sexual orientation, identity, or preferences, which can result in distress and anxiety. The disorder's origin is often complex, potentially involving both psychological and sociocultural factors. In terms of symptoms, it could manifest through discomfort with one's gender, unwanted sexual interests or behaviors, or difficulties in integrating and accepting one's sexual self. It's important to note that variations in sexual interests or identities are not indicative of a disorder unless they cause significant distress and adversely affect personal functioning.
