As the wife of someone who was recently diagnosed with bipolar, I would like to learn how to be more supportive. I have done as much reading as I can, and can I ask "What does it mean for a spouse to be supportive"? My husband is still in the facility, and I am not sure when he will be released. I visit with him everyday and am trying to get as much information from the doctors as possible.

But emotionally, how do I support my husband as we are going through this? Are there things I should avoid talking about when I visit with him? I am open to any advice. Thanks!
