Abstract

Hypersexuality is a frequent symptom in bipolar episode in teenagers. It can (1) favour at risk behaviours and put the adolescent in a dangerous situation, a rape being the first clinical manifestation of a manic episode; (2) induce sexual delusional ideas and/or false allegations of sexual abuse as psychotic features are frequent in this age range. In the present paper, we briefly report four recent cases seen a tour institution, and discuss the clinical, therapeutic and forensic implications of such situations.
