9. Promiscuity.
Depression and anxiety can take their toll on the way we can put in boundaries, and we can end up making poor choices which we regret later. Whereas once we may have been only in monogamous relationships, we can begin to bring other people into relationships, and use cottages and Public Sex Environments. Neither promotes intimacy. What they can do is lead to both the obvious risk of STDs, and also a complete breakdown in relationships with others. This will ultimately not help. Again, therapy will support your friend and/or their partner in addressing this safely. What can also help is you being explicitly clear about expectations in the relationship – if you want monogamy, don’t compromise.
