PATHOS
PATHOS is a brief sexual addiction screening questionnaire developed by Dr. Patrick Carnes.
Preoccupied: Do you often find yourself preoccupied with sexual thoughts?
Ashamed: Do you hide some of your sexual behavior from others?
Treatment: Have you ever sought help for sexual behavior you did not like?
Hurt others: Has anyone been hurt emotionally because of your sexual behavior?
Out of control: Do you feel controlled by your sexual desire?
Sad: When you have sex, do you feel depressed afterwards?
If you answer “Yes” to 3 or more of these questions, it is recommended you speak with a trained sex addiction therapist to explore your responses.
