Introduction

Paraphilic Disorders involve intense, persistent sexual interests that may cause distress, impairment, or potential harm to oneself or others. While some individuals with paraphilic interests do not experience distress or engage in harmful behaviors, others may struggle with uncontrollable urges that interfere with daily life. At Samvedana Psychiatry Centre, we provide confidential, compassionate, and specialized care to help individuals manage and overcome Paraphilic Disorders.
