== ICD ==

<blockquote>Description 

Pedophilic disorder is characterised by a sustained, focused, and intense pattern of sexual arousal—as manifested by persistent sexual thoughts, fantasies, urges, or behaviours—involving pre-pubertal children. In addition, in order for Pedophilic Disorder to be diagnosed, the individual must have acted on these thoughts, fantasies or urges or be markedly distressed by them. This diagnosis does not apply to sexual behaviours among pre- or post-pubertal children with peers who are close in age. 

Diagnostic Requirements 

Essential (Required) Features: 

*A sustained, focused, and intense pattern of sexual arousal—as manifested by persistent sexual thoughts, fantasies, urges, or behaviours—involving pre-pubertal children. 

*The individual must have acted on these thoughts, fantasies or urges or be markedly distressed by them. 

*The diagnosis does not apply to sexual arousal and accompanying behaviour between pre- or post-pubertal children who are close in age. </blockquote>

- ICD-11<ref>[https://icd.who.int/browse11/l-m/en#/http%3a%2f%2fid.who.int%2ficd%2fentity%2f517058174 Pedophilic Disorder], ICD-11.</ref> 

ICD-11 was established in 2019 and has officially replaced ICD-10 on January 1, 2022. The older version of this document included the diagnosis "paedophilia", which applied only to the attraction<ref>[https://icd.who.int/browse10/2019/en#/F65.4 Paedophilia], ICD-10.</ref>. It's important to note that while DSM is used within the United States of America, ICD has worldwide significance.

== Misconceptions ==

The main misconception is conflating pedophilic disorder and [[pedophilia]]. This is done by Wikipedia, which states that "Pedophilia is termed pedophilic disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11)."<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia Pedophilia], Wikipedia.</ref>. This leads to many people assuming that the attraction itself is a mental illness. Conceptualizing the attraction as pathological results in wide promotion of conversion therapy and an erroneous belief that any map who considers mapness an inherent identity is uneducated and mislead. 

People who understand the nature of this disorder poorly often claim that distress and guilt about being a map is a symptom of [[Child abuse obsessive-compulsive disorder|POCD]], and that "clients who have pedophilic disorder enjoy and are aroused by sexualized thoughts and images of children, clients with P-OCD fear that they may actually enjoy or find pleasure in these images"<ref>[https://www.ocdtypes.com/pocd-ocd.php Pedophilic OCD], OCD Types, New England OCD Institute.</ref>. 

In addition to that, [[Mapmisia|mapmisiacs]] often use ableist stereotypes against maps, such as assuming poor self control, low self awareness, violent behavior.

== Criticism ==

Both DSM and ICD treat the act of sexual abuse, perpetrated by a pedophile, as a sign of a mental disorder, while no conclusion like this is made about non-pedophilic sexual abusers. 

The distressed feelings maps experience about their attraction can be rather well explained by the minority stress model, which describes internalized stigma and guilt members of hated minorities may develop.

<blockquote>For example, LGBTQ+ youth and adults who have experienced prejudice about their sexual orientation sometimes choose to conceal their sexual identity from others. Concealing such personal information causes significant psychological distress, including intrusive thoughts about the secret, shame and guilt, anxiety, and isolation from other members of the minority group. Internalized homophobia is another proximal stressor prevalent among LGBT individuals. It refers to the internalization of negative social views about homosexuality, which leads to self-hatred and poor self-regard.</blockquote>

<blockquote>For me, it comes with intense feelings of guilt and disgust, self loathing, and even suicidal ideation and tendencies. It does come with urges, but not in the sense that you may think. Instead, I find myself constantly and consistently thinking about being a minor attracted person and how much it impacts my life and my outlook.</blockquote>

The parallels between these two conditions were noticed not only by maps themselves, but also some researchers<ref>[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330635952_Correlates_of_Chronic_Suicidal_Ideation_Among_Community-Based_Minor-Attracted_Persons Cohen, Lisa & Wilman-Depena, Sherilyn & Barzilay, Shira & Hawes, Mariah & Yaseen, Zimri & Galynker, Igor.
