This is not a psychotic episode. A psychotic episode includes a real break from reality - ie I am the queen or I hear voices in my head or I think my car is going into labor with siamese twins. In and of itself, this does not sound like a hypomanic episode. Hypomania includes multiple symptoms, which admittedly can include risky and/or highly sexual behaior. It is tough to say, but I would guess that this is at least partly psychological rather than fully chemical. It is good that you are honest with your husband. Keep looking for the root of this behavior; be honest with your therapist. You are not a horrible person.
