Thinking Sex Once in every 20 Minutes is signs of disease?

Is it natural if a man thinks about sex every 20 minutes or so? Apparently not, according to psychiatrists. Although sex has become an indispensable part of everyday life, especially men, but such symptoms are the disease and need to be treated. The psychiatrist also mentioned a woman who often angry during menstruation have pre-menstrual dysphoric disease. But the psychiatrist was criticized for defining the daily habits as a disease. In the latest edition of the psychiatric manual entitled 'The fifth Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders' or DSM 5, psychiatrists classify some daily habits of a disease. Yet the habits, according to doctors is normal in everyday life.
Handbook issued by the American Psychiatric Association has designed since 1994 but is now causing controversy due to categorize some common habits that actually becomes a disease. In addition to thinking of sex every 20 minutes is regarded as an illness, psychiatrists also classifies some other habits as an addiction diseases such as gambling, internet and more. But now Peter Tyrer, professor of psychiatry at Imperial College London is revising the guidelines. "If a man who can not stop thinking about sex considered sex addicts, there will be many men who suffer from the disease," said Tyrer as reported by the Independent.
DSM guide 5, which is now being compiled revision is actually a result of the thoughts of hundreds of experts for more than a decade (10 years). But because it caused controversy, the psychiatric expert was forced to change. "This time they promised to only enter a disease based on biological function. The scope of the disease will be minimized and some conditions can not be categorized as a disease," said Tyrer. Some have suspected there was a pharmacy-party intervention in the actual classification of disease in the medical world into categories of mediocrity. With more and more a habit that is classified as a disease, the possibility of prescribing drugs by doctors even higher. "If it is mentioned in the guide hypersexual disease as a new type of disease, then who will benefit from the pharmaceutical side. As we know, if a new disease is found then the pharmaceutical companies will soon prepare the medicine," said Tim Kendall of the Royal College of psychiatrists. "Actually, all issues related to psychology to become a disease, only if it has been disturbing the quality of life," he added.
Some diseases are caused controversy in the DSM 5 include:
1.     Hypersexual disorder (often think about sex)
2.     Binge-eating disorder (overeating to eliminate stes and guilt)
3.     Psychosis risk syndrome (stress that causes hallucinations, delusion and lack of sleep)
4.     Pathological gambling (gambling addiction, love to spend money for a pleasure)
5.     Minor neurocognitive disorder (have the ability of the brain that are lower than his age)
