Disability and Illness: Psychiatric Disabilities Psychiatric Disabilities Introduction:
Sexualhealth.com frequently discusses the connection between mind and body for healthy sexual expressions and relationships. When the body is healthy but the mind is struggling with psychological issues, sexual functioning can still be affected. A person cannot self-diagnose a psychiatric disorder, nor can anyone be diagnosed over the phone or via the internet. This channel does, however, offer general information and resources for support for people whose psychiatric diagnoses may affect their sexual functioning.
