I agree with this, and all the other members who have suggested that you move on if your boyfriend refuses to be responsible. He has a serious medical disorder: agreed. However, he is an adult and thus responsible for himself. While I understand and appreciate your desire to be supportive, it is not your role to be "responsible" for him.

Also, I don't know if you ought to contact his psychologist unless such an arrangement is already in place. Would he appreciate it? I know that sometimes one has no option but to "invade" another's privacy (e.g. to protect innocent bystanders), but I don't know if this is justified in your boyfriend's case.

Just because he's depressed doesn't mean that he isn't in denial (which he seems to be).

Good luck.
