ok why would u think i would like dirty diapers so much
Brief Answer:
Needs complete evaluation and psychotherapy sessions
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back to me
Affiliation to different atypical and apparently gross things in society is not normal and needs psychological evaluation and assessment for psychiatry. Like any other illness , its a disease and psychiatrists handle that . I would like you to visit any psychotherapist, let them have a complete psychological evaluation , run some baseline labs to rule out any organic cause and then proceed further accordingly. I am sure few psychotherapy sessions will help you overcome your uncontrolled love for dirty diapers. One way is to think side effects and cons of having this habits like foul smell, infections, rashes, genital tract infections, urinary tract infections, hygienically unaccepted by the circle of people you love and thinking this way help you overcome the habits which are affecting your social life. I am sure its not big a deal and your psychiatrist can easily help you get rid of all the taboos which are affecting your social life.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Brief Answer:
Pardon for misconception,
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getitng back to me
Pardon me if my answer made you feel so, i was not trying to be judgmental. I was trying to address versatility and variety in nature of human being and it is perfectly fine to feel that way. if it does not bother you, you may continue this way and may not even need any psychiatrist. But if you want to get rid of these habits, your psychiatrists can find a way for you. Rest psychiatry has its own terms for every human behaviour, that a good psychiatrist can answer why. Many social, personal, environmental factors attribute to a personal behaviour and what caused like this needs a complete psychological correlation and detailed history , which is why i recommended a good psychiatric facility.
I hope it helps.
