The person has acted on these sexual urges with a nonconsenting person, or the sexual urges or fantasies cause distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. The condition has been present for 6 months or more. The doctor must also specify whether the person is living in a controlled environment (for example, an institution) or in full remission (has had at least 5 years without distress/impairment in an uncontrolled environment).
