Excessive Sexual Drive after Mercury Poisoning: A Case Report
Abstract Mercury poisoning induces neuropsychiatric symptoms. This study reports a clinical case of Excessive Sexual Drive (ESD) after mercury poisoning and its treatment. A 50-year-old man was referred to treatment because of persistent sexual urge after mercury poisoning. He took paroxetine under medical follow-up and received orientations addressing ESD. His mental status was accessed with neuropsychological test and using psychiatric scales. Sexual urge, impulsivity, and behavior became milder. Scores on neuropsychological test and on scales showed a decrease on anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. ESD can possibly occur after mercury poisoning. Paroxetine showed itself useful to control the sexual urge.
