girlfriend doesn't agree with diagnosis

Posted by super on May 24, 2001, at 15:28:37

Anyone have a significant other who doesn't agree with their diagnosis? My girlfriend, who is actually a surgeon, doesn't think I really have bipolar II--she just thinks I've had a few episodes of clinical depression. I've been on medication since I met her, so she's never really known me down-and-out. She thinks I could stop taking my medication. I don't know why she questions my diagnosis. At one point I did stop taking my medication, and she told me to start again. I want her to be right, but I know she probably isn't. I was just wondering how other people deal with their significant other's skepticism about their mental illness.
