LBD & Hypersexuality

I received a call from the MC that my dad is at and was informed that the NP is putting him on Depakote 250 mg twice a day due to hypersexuality. I know this is sometimes an unfortunate symptom of this horrible disease. I personally have not witnessed any behaviors myself - thankfully. But I am curious what is the best response if you do witness this behavior and has anyone had experience with a LO taking this medication for this reason?
