There are several therapeutic treatments that can be an option for those with pedophilic urges and can help modify one’s behavior and mental health while struggling with their situation. These include cognitive-behavioral therapy, empathy training, and reconditioning approaches. Many people with pedophilic urges do not seek psychiatric or psychological treatment due to the stigma around the condition in society and the mandatory reporting laws in the United States, which can lead to legal consequences if pedophilic acts are acknowledged.
