Final answer:
False. The APA does not recognize nymphomania and satyriasis as clinical diagnoses in the DSM-5. These historical terms have been replaced by more nuanced categories relating to sexual behavior in the current diagnostic manual.
Step-by-step explanation:
Formerly, the terms "nymphomania" and "satyriasis" were used to refer to men's and women's excessive sexual urges, respectively. However, in their most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5, released in 2013), the American Psychiatric Association (APA) does not recognize these as clinical diagnoses. Rather, the American Psychological Association classifies similar disorders as Sexual Dysfunction and Paraphilic Disorders, and includes diagnostic standards for disorders such as Hypersexual Disorder under this heading. However, Hypersexual Disorder is not an officially recognized clinical disorder either, as evidenced by its inclusion only in Section III of the DSM-5, which covers conditions requiring additional research.
