Impact Of Psychological Distress On Aggressive Behaviors And Sexual Desires Among College Students And Working Adults

Abstract

Focusing on how distress affects sexual desire and arousal, how dysfunctional sexual behaviors serve as coping mechanisms, and how to treat sexual dysfunctions linked to distress, this dissertation delves into the complex relationship between mental health and sexual health. Changes in libido, arousal patterns, , sexual functioning may result from psychological distress, which includes feelings like worry, sadness, and trauma. When people experience hardship, they may resort to unhealthy coping techniques, which may worsen their underlying mental health problems. These behaviors might include engaging in unsafe sexual practices or obsessive pornography consumption. In order to alleviate distress-related sexual dysfunctions and their related psychological symptoms, there are a number of therapeutic options available, such as medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy. The goal of this study is to help develop treatments that improve sexual health and psychological resilience by clarifying the intricate relationship between psychological discomfort and sexual health.
