Özet
To the Editors,
Persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) is a relatively new diagnosis in psychiatry. This disorder is frequently reported in females. Goldmeier et al. defined six criteria for PGAD: 1. Sexual arousal persists for an extended period, 2. Physiological arousals don’t resolve with ordinary orgasm, 3. Arousals are unrelated to sexual desire, 4. Arousals are triggered by nonsexual stimuli, 5. Unwanted experience of symptoms, and 6. Symptoms cause distress.1 According to previous literature, anxiety and sexual stimuli could be related to each other, so PGAD could be comorbid with anxiety disorders like obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).2 Here we demonstrate a case of PGAD comorbid with OCD, where the patient benefited from paroxetine in terms of both disorders.
