How Sex Addiction and Anxiety Are Connected
Sex addiction is often linked to underlying mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Many individuals use sexual behaviors as a coping mechanism for emotional distress.
Cities like Denton, Rockwall, and The Colony have seen an increase in demand for dual-diagnosis therapy that treats both sex addiction and anxiety.
How Anxiety Fuels Compulsive Sexual Behavior
- Sexual activity provides temporary relief from stress
- Over time, individuals need more extreme behaviors to cope
- Guilt and shame increase, leading to higher anxiety
- The cycle continues, making it harder to stop
