Hi... This is David Mariant. It is absolutely imparative that people who provide services to patients who also struggle with bipolar or mental illness get optimal care. What you described begs the question of you whether this is true or not for your husband. I for instance have a lovely wife of almost 25 years and five children. I wrote in my book and speak to many people about the following point: I have the responsiblity for getting the best and most comprehensive help I can for my families sake and of course my own. I also work with a lot of families and indivuduals with bipolar and coach them to achieve optimal life results. I owe it to each and everyone of them to have my bipolar under control. The flip side of a person not having their bipolar under control could be devistating and life threatening. Recently I shared the same thoughts with a psychiatrist who had bipolar and was obviously not stable. Some do consider it irresponsible and neglegent to be in a capacity of providing health care and have bipolar. Higher Functioning Bipolar Life Coaching is not only possible it is my suggestion for all professionals with bipolar.
I am adding this point now. Their is hope for more stability, their always is to some degree. A person needs to begin with a belief that this is true, then, work toward finding out how to do it and what help they need. Unfortunately people have been dooped into believing that medication is the magic we need and of course it doesn't work like that and we may become robbed of our hope. A comprehensive approach to bipolar life management is the only way to achieve optimal results... their just isn't any other way...
