Hypersexuality in Bipolar Disorder - Why Does It Happen?

Bipolar hypersexuality is a common symptom during the manic phase. The hypersexuality symptoms can look like having sex outside of an exclusive relationship, sex with multiple partners or sex with strangers. But it doesn’t have to mean increased sexual activity. It doesn’t have to involve sex with someone. It can take to form of excessive sexual fantasies.

Despite this increased activity, this x is not a sexual addiction. I discuss the reasons why in this video and nat the motivation is behind the behavior.
