Abstract

Promoting sexual health in people diagnosed with bipolar disorder (BD) is a priority in their mental health care. In this work, analyzed perceptions constructed around sexuality of men diagnosed with bipolar disorder, as well as challenges in care practices related to men's sexual health. The perceptions of people with bipolar disorder and health professionals are analyzed, based on a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological design and through a reflective analysis of social discourse. To this end, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 12 mental health professionals, 7 men with bipolar disorder, and 2 focus groups. An analysis of the contained inductive theme was carried out and ATLAS.ti was used for the information process.


Among the main results, it was identified that mental health professionals perceive that the main problem of a sexual nature in these men is the alteration of sexual functioning and impulse control, manifestations considered as part of the symptoms related to bipolar disorder. Therefore, care practices for sexual health are limited to the control of episodes related to the disease. Men, seeing that there is no real attention to their sexual health, tend to use alternative non-prescription drugs to improve sexual functioning or stop taking psychiatric drugs that are associated with decreased sexual functioning and desire. In the same vein, it is identified that sexual health interventions are linked to social norms that reproduce hegemonic masculinity and that limit the true understanding of the priorities that these men live.
