	Hypersexuality: A Symptom of Early Onset Bipolar Disorder
		Hypersexuality in children is rarely discussed about for two reasons: one is that (bipolar or not) sexuality in children is simply not spoken about in public; and the other, sadly, is that parents of hypersexual children are afraid to mention the subject -- even over email.
		Hypersexuality is the most disturbing symptom for Matthew after the aggression and rages are gone, and it’s one of the last behaviors to go away as treatment is effective for him.
		Almost all the parents we interviewed said the hypersexual symptoms disappeared with proper stabilization, but until that day arrives, a parent whose child is hypersexual is going to have to contend with the conversations and behaviors and, embarrassed or not, model appropriate social behavior for the child -- without making the child feel shame.

		Further, there should be a specifier for paraphilias of “with hypersexuality” or “without hypersexuality.” There is still incomplete understanding of the neurobiology of sexual disorders although functional neuroanatomy and neoropharmcological research has exposed the neurotransmitters, receptors, and hormones that are involved in sexual desire.
		An algorithm for the use of these drugs in the treatment of the paraphilias as well nonparaphilic hypersexuality is outlined.
		There is no consensus at this time as to whether the paraphilias and compulsive sexual behaviour (nonparaphilic hypersexuality) should be included in the OCD spectrum disorders.

		It is important to differentiate between PSAS and hypersexuality, with which it may be confused.
		Although not a common female complaint, hypersexuality has been reported occasionally in women, where it may manifest as high-frequency masturbation, insistent and intrusive sexual fantasies or thoughts, or very frequent coitus.
		Whereas hypersexuality refers to excessive desire with or without persistent genital arousal, PSAS refers to physiologic arousal in the absence of conscious desire, which is what makes it so perplexing.

	Record: Researchers identify bipolar disorder in preschoolers
		These issues may be even more difficult in young children who display some of these behaviors and emotions normally.
		However, Joan Luby, M.D., associate professor of child psychiatry, found mania symptoms as defined by psychiatry's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV) did not occur in healthy preschoolers and that three main symptoms —; elation, grandiosity and hypersexuality — distinguished bipolar disorder from ADHD in preschoolers.
		Similar to the mania symptoms in older bipolar children — first outlined by Barbara Geller, M.D., professor of child psychiatry at the School of Medicine — young children who manifested elation, grandiosity and hypersexuality had dramatically higher odds of having bipolar disorder when compared with children with ADHD.
