Quote From: veneer Bipolar disorder is a serious illness and like other serious illnesses it needs to be treated. Spirituality and a healthy diet can help, of course, but they are not enough on their own. If your husband had any other illness - would you not seek medical treatment? If so, know that this is not different.
Can help with any illness. But bipolar disorder needs more. It needs proper medication, moderation in all things, and a routine. Of these things, medication is the most important. Bipolar disorder is caused by a lack of chemicals in the brain--chemicals that other people have. Medication seeks to replace these chemicals, making the person stable in his moods and able to function.
I have been stable on meds for 20 years. It is much better than being at the mercy of my moods, unable to work or to carry on a relationship. Please see a psychiatrist and start the quest for proper medication for your husband. It will help immeasurably.
