You have shown amazing support and understanding for your husband, and clearly did the right thing for him. I went to the hospital twice for dangerous depression, so my situation wasn't quite the same as your husband's but I want you to know that the hospital I went to helped get me on the right path to saving my life and getting proper treatment. It sounds like your husband, even though he is having episodes is at least a little bit willing to go for treatment which will serve him well in the future.

I am sure the hospital will set him up with outpatient treatment as part of his discharge plan, and will invite you for a meeting to discuss the plans.

One other thing you can do for your husband is to visit him in the hospital. For me the hardest part of being there was when I didn't have anyone able to visit. Most days someone came, but there were one or two days when no one was able. I understood, but it was lonely.

I can tell that you are a loving wife and that will help your husband through this. I agree with the above, that you might want to seek support for yourself as well. You may even want marriage counseling so that you both can learn to live with your husband's chronic condition.

Thanks for posting, and welcome!
