In reply to my husband doesnt believe im bi-polar, posted by woolav on May 26, 2005, at 19:12:37
I don't know if this might be an option, but perhaps your pdoc could meet with him to discuss your diagnosis and what it means, without getting into details of your sessions with the pdoc. I don't know how he could not believe that you are bipolar if he hears from the medical professional who has diagnosed you and who is treating you. Just a thought. It would, of course, depend on how comfortable you would be with your husband meeting your pdoc one time.
Take care, and hang in there, ok.

> I have given him literature, read things to him etc..but it doesnt seem to matter. I had a hypomania episode that was pretty bad, and he knows that i have depression to the point of suicide, but yet, he still doesnt care i guess. I dont know how to make him understand about this illness. Does anyone have advise??
