Patient discussion about sexual rest.

Q. Something rairly spoken about is sexual disfunctions. Wether it be an inability to perform or being hyper sexual during manic episodes. This situation can be very frusterating for patients as well as partners. Hyper sexuality can lead to cheating followed by depression and sexual disfunction. How have you dealt with these issues?

A. ... in a manic episode. It comes along with the feeling of elation and the idea that you can do anything you want and there is no reasoning or consiquences to your actions in that state. Like we have discussed before it is important in times like these for partners to understand that these actions have nothing to do with you. It is very hard, and ther are people who will not accept the possible consiquences of hypersexuality (and I am not saying you should) it is just important to know that your bipolar partner may not have a loto of control over their actions in times of mania. Mania can be controlled with the proper medications but may have the opposite effect. It is important to be open and talk about it... but be patient and try not to put too much pressure on... the pressure can make things worse.

Q. SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES how many types are there?

A. Gonorrhea, syphillis, Hepatitis B, Human Papilloma Virus, HIV, urethritis..
The rest of the list, I think lixurion had already shared you the link, just read on that link..

Q. Give life to her please! Here is a really confusing question to you all. But your reply is a life for her. I know someone who is bipolar and she thinks that her ‘brother’ sexually molested her when they were kids. Can this be a delusion? Or hallucinating?

A. You should never ever assume that because someone is bipolar or have a mental illness of any kind that the things they say are untrue. I couldnt tell you if her brother sexually assulted her as a child. There is a possibility that it is a delusion but that is for her to work out, preferably with a professional.
Hallucinations happen but are normally short lived events. If this thought has entered her mind and it is remaining there chances are there is no hallucination about it. It may very well be a repressed memory working its way back to the surface... encourage her to talk to a theropist aout it and see if she can work it out in theropy... I believe that is the best way for her to deal with this situation. Continue to be of support to her and let her talk if she feels the need.... Just dont suggest to her that what she is remembering is untrue... you dont know the answer to that...
