Transvestic disorder

Transvestic disorder (formerly transvestic fetishism) is a psychiatric diagnosis applied in some countries to people who are sexually aroused by the act of cross-dressing and experience significant distress or impairment – socially or occupationally – because of their behavior.

In countries which have adopted the World Health Organization standard ICD-11 CDDR, it is not a diagnosis, but has been deprecated in favor of the more general "Paraphilic disorder involving solitary behavior or consenting individuals".

In countries, such as the United States, which use the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5, it is categorized as a specific paraphilic disorder. It differs from cross-dressing without distress or impairment, or for entertainment or other purposes that do not involve sexual arousal.
