Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Its not about me, but it's about my partner. He's BiPolar which ive known about for years, but recently he's told me he thinks he's got anhedonia. We hardly ever have sex now because of it and i want to know if theres anything i can do to help him or for him to help himself!
In a person with bipolar disorder if there is recent onset anhedonia and low mood or loss of interest, a depressive episode should be ruled out. If he is taking his regular medications the chances of an episode is less but if there is any stressor in his life, an episode can get precipitated even with medications. Please consult his psychiatrist for an evaluation.
Hope this helps Dr A Rao
