Yes, desperately is a strong word. You might say you 'want something', which could mean you wouldn't mind too much if you didn't get it, but if you say you 'desperately want something' you'll not only mind a lot if you don't get it but you could well be prepared to go to extreme lengths (stealing, fighting) in order to get it.
