It is beautiful that you are so supportive of your partner. I hope you are able to find not just a comprehensive diagnoses but treatment as well. Many of us have gotten the right diagnoses and know it fits, but that is only half the battle. I don't want to discourage you and have no idea what it is like in Australia. You may find that once you get the proper diagnoses that it is easier to get treatment than it is here in USA. Between stigma, greed and lack of resources it is hard. I do know that your partner has a great advantage in having someone beside her. Trying to recover alone is so much harder and a longer road However there may be times when you will be asked to to the hardest thing of all and step back and let her fight some battles on her own. Best of luck to both of you.
