HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Hyper-sexuality is part of mania and if he has episode hyper-sexuality, it will go in favor of mania, but only basis of one symptoms, we can label him in manic episode. There should be other symptoms like over-talkativeness, decrease sleep, increase appetite or mood swings etc. Valparin is mood stabilizer and this would help to control symptoms. It has few side effects like hair loss, gastritis, nausea, vomiting, liver dysfunction etc.

Thanks
