I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to deal w/ non-supportive family members (for example, what if they are in denial about illness). Does anyone know how to deal with the attitude of "Why don't you just pull out of it?" Is there anywhere on psychcentral that addresses this?

I was wondering because a lot of people I know who have bipolar or some other diagnonsis encounter this, but I haven't been able to find much info on how to deal with it. Maybe I'm not searching under the correct terms.

Any suggections would be much appriciated.
