Pedophilic disorder is a mental health condition characterized by an adult's sexual attraction to prepubescent children, typically aged 13 or younger. This disorder is classified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and requires that the individual has acted on these urges or experiences significant distress due to them. Diagnosis of pedophilic disorder involves a thorough evaluation by a mental health professional. Treatment options may include therapy and support groups, focusing on managing impulses and preventing harm to children. It is important to note that having this disorder does not mean an individual will act on their attractions.
