BiPolar and Hyper Sexuality Posted: 07-11-08 20:23pm
I spoke to someone/counsellor at Metal
health and was told that some men/women
with bipolar go into episodes that include
large amounts or prnography and searching
for sex outside of a committed
relationship.
Does she know what she is talking about?
What about lying, ................... my
husband is also lying daily in large
amounts to cover up what he is doing?
Any insights here?

Hypersexuality is a common feature in the
manic episodes of bipolar disorder. It can
present with seeking sexual encounters
outside of a relationship. Sexual
promiscuity is one of many symptoms of
bipolar disorder. Lying would be a direct
result of some of the behaviors involved
with bipolar disorder.
There are so many behaviors that accompany
this disorder. Is your husband being
treated for bipolar disorder?
If you would like some further information
private message me and I can discuss and
refer you to more information.
