Zeka geriliğine bağlı uygunsuz cinsel arayışlar veya transvestik fetişizm: Bir olgu sunumu
Ergenlik döneminin özelliklerinden biri ergenin kendi cinselliğinin farkına varmasıdır. Ergen cinsel davranışları araş- tırırken bazen kendini cinselliğini deneyimlemesine izin veren garip durumlarda bulabilir. Parafililer gibi cinsel davranış sapmaları sıklıkla ergenlik döneminde başlar, transvestik fetişizm de parafililerden biridir. Bu yazıda polikliniğimize annesinin iç çamaşırlarını giyme nedeni getirilen 14 yaşındaki erkek ergen tartışılmıştır. Bu karşıt giyinme davranışı sıklıkla suçluluk ve utanma duygularının eşlik ettiği mastürbasyonla sonlanmakta ve yaklaşık bir yıldır sürmektedir. Ruhsal durum muayenesinde utangaç görünümde, ilgili sorulara savunucu, göz ilişkisinden kaçınmakta ve duygudurumu depresifti. Zeka testinde hafif düzeyde zeka geriliği saptandı. Hastaya depresyonuna yönelik sertralin 50 mg/gün başlandı ve hasta ve ailesiyle haftalık terapi planlandı. Terapinin amacı, hastayı cinsel duygularına uygun davranışın ne olduğu konusunda olabildiğince eğiterek bu davranışının sapma olduğunu anlamasını sağlamaktı. Bu yazıda zeka geriliği ve parafili ilişkisi, transvestik fetişizm ayırıcı tanısı ve psikodinamikleri tartışılmış- tır. Tranvestik fetişizmde erken tanı ve erken girişim başarılı bir tedavi için önemlidir. Ailesel ve ruhsal-cinsel etkenleri ele almanın yanı sıra gençlere cinsel eğitim verilmesinin önemi tartışılmıştır. Aynı zamanda farmakolojik tedavi gereksinmesi ve seçimi literatür ışığında tartışılmıştır. (Anadolu Psikiyatri Derg 2015; 16(6):454-457)
