Hypersexuality and abuse

"...there appears to be an unusually high correlation between bipolar disorder and a history of child sexual abuse, which could be explained by the fact that bipolar disorder is so often inherited, and the parent abuser may well have done so due to his or her own manic depression."

Huh. Interesting. It could be the hypersexuality of mental illness that causes people to act out their sexuality in an abusive manner. The perpetrator themselves may be mentally ill and therefore acting out in a manner they wouldn't otherwise. I wonder if they have ever done a study on abusers and their rates of mental illness.

This is hard to read, but interesting. It's a study they did on whether abuse makes bipolar folks more crazy. I mean, more suicidal and depressed in adulthood. I'll let you process this, cause I'm still thinking about it.
