Mental healthcare is a surprisingly controversial subject and I don’t really know why. At some point it became a political point of contention and people will downplay the impact it has on our society if it doesn’t align with their beliefs. However, for those who have a mental health disorder it’s a harsh reality that is often difficult to treat.
Unless you can relieve your symptoms with lots and lots of sex, then it’s just a matter of finding someone to fill your prescription.
According to a woman diagnosed with bipolar disorder, her doctors told her to stop drinking and exercise more. When this standard medical advice didn’t work she received a more unorthodox recommendation: have as much sex as possible.
It’s a scientific fact that sex releases a complex cocktail of chemicals in the brain that may serve as anti-depressants. Given that the woman, identified as Penny Sullivan, probably experienced bouts of depression due to her bipolar disorder her doctor probably figured sex would help her stabilize her mood.
Penny, who said she always had a high sex drive, and her husband were more than willing to follow her doctor’s advice. Much to their delight the sexy treatment worked brilliantly. Huzzah!
Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder that causes periods of both severe depression and elevated mood, also known as mania. These two extremes can negatively affect the lives of those afflicted and can lead them down a dangerous path if the symptoms go untreated. Since many people with bipolar disorder wish to avoid medications to stabilize their mood, regular sex is an excellent alternative.
We once read a medical study that suggested people who have kinkier sex lives may also have better overall mental health than those who don’t. Though we weren’t sure if creative erotic practices were the cause or result of this correlation, this recent report may have given us the answer. Penny’s dramatic improvement in mood after increasing the rate she sleeps with her husband may indicate that regular sex is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.
That being said, having enough sex to maintain good mental health is easier said than done.
I don’t have any noteworthy mental health problems, but I also don’t have as much sex as I would like. Maybe having one or two casual sex partners and a Pornhub Premium account is just as good!
