What do u do about a Bipolar , Manicdepressive spouse. Or who can you contact?

I agree with what other people have said about getting your spouse to a MD, a therapist and on meds.





For her %26amp; you...Google: NAMI %26gt;%26gt;Bipolar





They have a national # and have state branches. They have info; family support groups; educational groups; support groups for people with bipolar; referrals.





Good Luck to you.What do u do about a Bipolar , Manicdepressive spouse. Or who can you contact?
Been there done that, and I would never recommend staying with anyone like that unless they took medications for the problems. Get her to the hospital, and they can get her admitted to a mental hospital for help to get her on the med/s she needs so she can get better.What do u do about a Bipolar , Manicdepressive spouse.

You need to get your wife to see a psychiatrist immediately so she can begin to take the medications she needs to get leveled out. This is not an easy process or an easy fix. Bipolar disorder is a lifelong battle and disease with no cure at this time. The only hope are the medications she MUST have and take faithfully. If she resists a psychiatrist then, at the very least, get her to see your family doctor. You can explain the situation to him/her. Good luck!
get that person medication and see a physician. it can and will get worse!
You cannot really do anything except encourage him/her to get help, unless they harm themselves or you, or someone else hears them say they are going to commit suicide. Sorry.
I have one too. GEt her on meds, but she needs to do it herself. If you can't convince her, wait until she's level to approach her, too manic or too depressed could set her off and lay the groundwork for stubborness beyond comprehension! Tread lightly. If you love her, you'll help her. With meds she will be a complete differnt person.
Will she see someone willingly?


A shrink, a family doctor.


Get her on medication


If she is a threat to herself(saying suicide stuff)or a harm to others(threatening to hurt others) you could call 911 for a section 12 admission to a mental ward at the hospital


My prayers go out to you,good luck
