Porn Addiction

Porn Addiction focuses on the psychological assessment and treatment of compulsive use of pornography, which can interfere with daily life, emotional well-being, and relationships. While watching pornography is common, excessive or uncontrollable use can become problematic and lead to addiction-like behaviors.

A psychiatrist specializing in sexual health helps individuals understand and manage the underlying causes, such as stress, anxiety, or past trauma, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Psychological Causes of Porn Addiction:

• Stress and anxiety
• Depression
• Low self-esteem
