Brief Answer:
Transvestism; need cognitive behavioral and psychotherapy

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in Healthcaremagic.com.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
Though you have provided a very short history, still it looks quite clear that you are having a psychological disorder termed as Transvestism. In such disorders, cross-dressing arouses fantasies and sometimes sexual urge in the affected individuals. It mostly occurs in adolescents and young males.
My suggestion will be to consult a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy have been proved to be quite helpful in such conditions, and the role of any medication is controversial.
So visit a psychiatrist at your earliest. Proper counselling and psychotherapy should help you give up such habits.

Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Transvestism symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Sorry for the late reply.

Transvestism is a psychological problem where one likes to wear clothes of the opposite sex and it gives him pleasure or satisfaction. One likes to dress and present himself like opposite sex. In many cases, such habit is associated with sexual gratification also.
This habit generally starts around adolescence or early adulthood and is generally a long-term habit.
I have already discussed the treatment options before.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
