Is sex addiction a legitimate disorder?

Should hypersexual disorder aka "sex addiction" be named as a new mental health condition in the forthcoming edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders?

A team at UCLA is proposing that it’s a legitimate disorder and think they may have the research to back it up.

HLN’s Dr. Drew gives his opinion on the matter.

Dr. Drew On Call airs Monday through Wednesday on HLN at 9 p.m. ET.  Follow the show on Facebook and Twitter @DrDrewHLN.
