I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder four years ago and it has been extremely difficult getting it under control. But now I lead a normal, HAPPY life.

I had to change psychiatrist four times....and try numerous drug combinations...and psychoanalysis before I cracked it. The improvement is remarkable and it has transformed my life. My new and final psychiatrist is BRILLIANT.

My main thought regarding your wife is that her illness is not being treated properly.

My advice to you is that you must KEEP GOING (and, yes, this is hard) until you and your wife find a psychiatrist who can get her on the road to recovery.

Her Bipolar does not have to ruin her life. It is very treatable.

ps: My mother also has Bipolar and she also has it under control. Her illness has given my Dad a lot of headaches over the years but the Bipolar is now stabilised. My mother works and has a full and normal life. They have been married 42 years.
