As long as the bouts of psychological disturbance that the man experiences are not among the psychological illnesses that are commonly off-putting (such as permanent or intermittent insanity or epilepsy), or medically contagious, or those that impede intercourse, then it is not considered a defect that must be disclosed during the betrothal, and concealing it is not considered prohibited deception, nor does it establish grounds for annulment after the marriage contract.
