Pedophilia:
Pedophilia is a psychiatric disorder characterized by an adult's persistent sexual attraction to prepubescent children. Individuals with pedophilic tendencies may experience recurrent, intense sexual fantasies, urges, or behaviors involving children. The disorder poses significant legal and ethical concerns due to the potential harm to minors. It is essential to distinguish between the diagnosis and actions; not everyone with pedophilic attractions engages in illegal activities. Treatment often involves psychotherapy and, when necessary, legal interventions to prevent harm. Addressing pedophilia requires a comprehensive approach focusing on prevention, early intervention, and the protection of children.
