Q: BiPolar and Hyper Sexuality

asked by: Lesley102 on July 11th, 2008

New User

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.
