lower your attraction? well, I would say no. it may lower your ability to maintain a long term relationship if the disorder is not being kept under control.

If you are experiencing a depressive episode then yes it does lower your sexual attraction, this of course is obvious. However, if you are currently experiencing a manic episode, it is quite normal to have a high libido and engage in risky promiscuous sex. When your mood is going through a period of stability, your normal sex drive should prevail.

During depression it can reduce your sex drive and during mania it increases your sex drive.... I'm not sure what you mean by "sexual attraction" but it does have a profound effect on your sex drive.

There's a new product in the market called SupernalBoost, aimed to enhance your libido and your immune system. It is based on four natural ingredients reccomended by Dr Oz : Rhodiola, Maca, Ashwagandha & Asian Ginseng. It will infuse your lifestyle with that added spark to enjoy it to the fullest!
