What's the deal with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD)?

from Wellness, Actually with Emily Oster & Perry Wilson, MD · host iHeartPodcasts

This week, Emily and Perry are coming in hot to discuss the existence of sex, specifically whether or not women have a DSM-5-designated disorder when they don't want it, or if that's a pathology designed to sell women meds. Turns out the data of sexual desire is a complicated and noisy thing to study, but fortunately that's a turn-on for our intrepid hosts. Plus: a diabetes conference gets politicized, losing sleep over getting sleep, and preventative HIV drugs in South Africa. Submit a question for our weekly mailbag at wellnessactually.fm.
