Also found on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Audible, Google Podcasts, and YouTube.

In this episode, I discuss the research I’ve found on the connection between Bipolar Disorder and Hypersexuality. You’ll learn more about what hypersexuality actually is and how it can impact the lives of those with bipolar disorder. Additionally, I take the time to talk about my own personal experiences with hypersexuality and how it affected my life. I hope that by tuning in, you’ll be able to better understand this often-overlooked side of bipolar disorder, you’ll hear stories that resonate with you or you’ll leave this episode with a kinder, more compassionate heart. (OR – all three! ?)
