Acquired Generalised Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder

Acquired generalised hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) is a persistent loss of interest in sex that develops after a period of normal desire, affecting all situations rather than specific partners or contexts.

Key points

  • A drop in libido from time to time is not unusual; hormonal changes, medication side effects and stress can all account for it.
  • The condition is diagnosed as HSDD when the persistent loss of desire causes personal distress, not simply a quiet phase.
