Hello, Bipolar disorder medication or physical illness like diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, etc. Can decrease sexual desire. Once the exact cause is identified treatment can be started. If its due to medicines then decreasing the dose or discontinuing the offending drug can be done. The next step is to switch to a different drug that is less likely to cause the specific sexual problem experienced. Another option is to add drug to take care of sexual desire. Consult your psychiatrist or you can consult me for the same.
