Abstract
Abstract:
Dhat syndrome is a culture-bound syndrome mostly prevalent in the Indian subcontinent. Young men of low or medium socioeconomic class who are single or recently married, are from rural areas, and have a conservative view of sex are most frequently reported to have Dhat syndrome. Individual cases are managed by addressing sexual myths, using relaxation techniques, supportive psychotherapy, anxiolytics, and antidepressants. We present a case of a 23-year-old unmarried male with dhat syndrome who was managed by supportive psychotherapy and antidepressant.
