This ^Yea, I can definitely see why depression and anxiety would cause one to seek many partners. Not sure about it going the other way around though.
If i think back to my university years at people who were quite promiscuous, i would say they all had some form of mental health issue. Probably undiagnosed at the time, but in retrospect all the markers were there. It wasn't the promiscuity that led to it.
I know a few people who, for mostly religious reasons, were married off young, 16 or 17, and they've all now been married multiple times and struggle to hold a stable relationship down, always chosing someone who from the outside is clearly wrong for them. Their whole concept of what a partnership should be like has been contorted by being coerced into a marriage before they were mentally mature enough and before neither knowing what they want and need from a relationship or even knowing who they really are.
