The only way to help this is to prevent her from watching adult content, and prevent her from going on dates or having sex with other men. Convince her of her problem and make her have a will to stop it.

Just be there to listen. I hope that her treatment for depression includes talk therapy. Hopefully she can discover the underlying cause for her behavior which won't change until she can deal with it.

It's quite possible that she has bi-polar disorder; this is one of the symptoms of the disease & medication will help her rid herself of the need to act out in this manner.

Such behaviour is more typical of bipolar disorder, or borderline personality disorder. Did she receive an expert diagnosis, or just consult a doctor? BPD is addressed in section 15, at *ezy-build. My standard posts follow: DEPRESSION: See depression treatments, at ezy-build *(below) in section 2, and consult a doctor, to eliminate thyroid problems, etc. as possible contributing factors: also seek a referral to a therapist using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy. It is your decision, and yours alone, as to whether to take any antidepressants offered, but, before you do, read section 1, and check medications out at http://www.drugs.com so you will be on the lookout for side effects, like sexual dysfunction. My strong recommendation, however, is to follow the advice of my doctor, his associate, and also Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP, and Dr. Mercola, as well, at http://www.mercola.com and avoid antidepressants (pages 2V, and 2Z refer, & antidepressant websites: page 2). The reasons why we all share the same view on this are explained in full, as you will find, if you read the whole section. All of their advice, (except prayer, because many people are not religious) I have incorporated into the "core treatments", including others as options, such as herbal remedies, Inositol, or SAMe. If you are diagnosed with clinical (major) depression, antidepressants may be necessary for a while, which will give the treatments time to become effective. The antidepressants themselves need at least several days, or even many weeks to become effective. It's a good idea to taper off them slowly, with medical advice, after several months, say, to a couple of years, at most, because they are only effective in the long term for about 30% of people. Because of this, you would be well advised to begin the treatments immediately, and maintain them. I'd just thank your mental health care provider, and pocket the prescription, trying the treatments for a few months, to see if they are sufficient for you, before considering filling it (unless clinically depressed, and having great difficulty functioning, or suicidal, in which case I'd take them). If the amount of daylight you have been exposed to recently has reduced, perhaps due to the change of seasons, see Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) in section 2, at * http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris and, instead of taking 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, daily; replace 2 of them with cod liver oil supplements (or a teaspoonful of cod liver oil), for the winter months only! Consider having your doctor test your vitamin D levels. OOOOOOOOOOO BIPOLAR DISORDER. See bipolar disorder, at ezy-build * (below) in section 10, and take the quiz, if unsure, and if the results are positive, ensure you get an expert diagnosis from a mental health professional, not doctors, who are much better dealing with physical ailments, and don't diagnose complex disorders like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and borderline personality disorder often enough to develop any real expertise. Bipolar disorder usually involves major moodswings, which occur without apparent cause, and often over many months, or a matter of years, rather than days, as with most people (unless rapid cycling). I'd take 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements daily, replacing 2 of them with cod liver oil supplements in the winter months. I recommend trying Lithium Carbonate, or Lithium Citrate (regular tests are necessary, for these), before trying the other mood stabilisers, but if you aren't good at taking medications regularly, drinking adequate water, and keeping up your salt intake, something else may suit you better. Always check out anything first at http://www.drugs.com/, so you will be aware of the risks, and on the lookout for side effects. (Personally, if I wasn't bipolar type 1, and experiencing hallucinations, or serious delusional states, I know I'd first try the orthomolecular and Omega 3 fish oil supplements, vitamins, minerals, and mostly raw food diet, for several months. I'd aso eat in accordance with my "nutritional type"' enter that term in the searchbar at http://www.mercola.com/ ). If not considerably improved, after several months, consult your primary mental health care provider. If bipolar type 1, an antipsychotic medication may also be needed. Everyone should take the Omega 3 supplements, or preferably "krill oil" for its other health benefits: use the searchbar at http://www.mercola.com/ . Some people refuse medication, using supplements, and a selective, mostly raw food diet (I do not recommended trying this, if bipolar 1, unless you aren't troubled by hallucinations, or delusional states). Maintain the treatments for the depressive phase, in section 2, at * http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris Print/refer her, and advise her to get re-diagnosed by an expert (preferably a psychologist) always have plenty of protection on hand (condoms: female, rather than male, as the latter can slip off, or leak), and find out about, and get tested for STD's, and that if she wants to keep her job, she had better rethink her attitude to it.

Yep - this behaviour can be a symptom of mental health problems. She needs to see a doctor to get a referral to a psychiatrist before she gets into all sorts of trouble.

Simple fact sex is not the problem, addiction is.

Some people are addicted to drugs, others to alcahol, others to gambling, some to work and others to sex, etc.

Addiction itself is a disease to which we are all susceptible, and many of us have in one way or another succumbed to. The difference is that some things we become addicted to are dangerous, in more ways than one.

The biggest problem is that to be helped when you have an addiction, you must first recognise in yourself that you have a problem. You can't help someone who does not want help. That I can tell you from experience, I was the one with the addiction. Until I personally accepted that I had a problem, it didn't matter what anybody said, I didn't need help, because I didn't have a problem, that was my train of thought. I hit rock bottom, and realised I did need help.

If you try to convnce your friend that she needs help, do it gently, don't be pushy, or she will push you away. Point out to her that she seems to be having too much sex, that her family needs her, that her job is at risk. Let her know that you cae and that if she needs to talk, you'll be there and you won't judge her. And most importantly, Don't judge her.

She will in time notice by herself that there is an issue, offer her help in subtle ways, if she says she's going to go somewhere that you know she will have sex, take her to the movies, invite her round for dinner, and watch a dvd, take her to a theme park. Give her other things to spend her time doing, things that are less harmful to herself, and others.

Good luck
