Taken from website:
"During a manic episode, your sex drive and sexual impulses can often lead to sexual behavior that’s atypical for you when you aren’t experiencing episodes of mania.
Examples of hypersexuality during a manic episode can include:
greatly increased sexual activity without a feeling of sexual satisfaction
sex with multiple partners, including strangers
excessive masturbation
continuous sexual affairs, despite the potential risk to relationships
sexual behavior that increases the likelihood of actions that can result in negative effects, such as contracting an STI
preoccupation with sexual thoughts
increased use of pornography
Hypersexuality can be a challenging symptom if you have bipolar disorder.
More studies that look at prevalence of this condition are needed."
I'd say that anyone who puts feelings ahead of having principles is more likely to cheat regardless of whether we can put a fancy label on the supposed cause of that behavior. It's also known that poor diet (too much processed food) plays a role in many psychological disorders. It's a lot easier to sell pills to people than to get them to eat right. The person diagnosed with "bipolar" might be less likely to cheat on you than another person who wasn't diagnosed. Or the reverse could be true. It all depends on the individual and the relationship. A lot of people don't realize it but how a person acts with YOU isn't necessarily how they act with another person. There's a bidirectional/feedback thing going on. This is part of why I preach to guys that they shouldn't act "like women" if they want to get the most out of life & women. But some refuse to see it.
Bipolar people i think can be prone to more black and white fixations. So interpret that individually, where one person may think only p in v is 'cheating' and will do everything but and another person will think liking provocative insta posts is 'cheating' and not want to be associated with anything like it.
It really depends on their prexisting opinions on cheating that will define how they act or react to situations around them
Cheating is the least of your worries when dealing with bipolar disorder. I was more worried about being controlled and having him thinking I was going to kill him.

No. But they may be unpredictable and it depends on person to person. "For many this leads to hypersexuality and situations where these individuals are displaced from reality." I wouldn't buy into this statement. People who cheat wanted to cheat, mental illness or not. Plain and simple and we need to stop making excuses for this. At that point they need help not a relationship.
Some with bipolar condition do nto even want to be involved in a relationship due to that condition cause maybe it can be hard for them to keep a stable one when theri behavior can change overnight and for the otehr partner it can be difficult to deal with a person who does not know what he wants or what mood he or she will be in in a matter of minutes
I have Bipolar Depression and so does my boyfriend. We are loyal and haven't cheated, and have never wanted to, even during manic episodes.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
This didn’t happen in my case but it possible. But again cheating can occur frequently with individuals who don’t even have bipolar disorder
being bipolar "may" lead someone to cheat in their manic depressive phase. you know they hate you and then they love you in waves. they might cheat but it's not a part of that disorder. it's a part of their character, if they do. i think you can't blame cheating on bipolar disorder. that disease is hell and you struggle more than other people with your emotions and everything. not trying to play it down but if they tell you they cheated because of bipolar disorder, that's a lie.
My ex was bipolar and yes she eventually cheated on me , so I say true , cuz I heard plenty of other horror stories from other bipolar people cheating on their partners , so to find one that doesn’t cheat good luck with that shit
They aren't the cheater type of girls, but their obnoxious behavior will deter any normal person close to them.
I think in the manic phase they are likely to use very poor judgment and do inappropriate things. Cheating is just one of those things.
Not always but it happens a lot
Honey, if you think that telephone texting, of any kind, is sexual 'cheating' then you must be the offspring of a Catholic nun and priest.
False. Always and never are rarely true. They are too absolute.
Well it was true for Carrie.
I think their chances of cheating are same as normal people. I think it depends more on their personality than their mental condition. Although i do not know anyone with it
Eh. I think bipolar is much more prone to big emotional swings like from happy to sad. I don't really think it's that linked to cheating, but I never researched it.
my ex was Borderline Personality.. she didn't know she did but I called her out
No absolutely not. Like not psychopaths are serial killers
I'm not sure but I don't think that's true.
False. It can happen but do not box everyone.
What a crock of crap!
