There's a book I saw recommended as being a "must read", in one of PsychCentral's "Ask the Therapist" columns, for anyone who has a family member with a mental illness who does not acknowledge they are ill. The title is: I'm Not Sick, I Don't Need Help. (I believe it is available for purchase on Amazon.) Here's a link to a review of the book:

A review of "I'm not sick, I don't need help!" - Friends for Mental Health

Here are links to some articles, from PsychCentral's archives, on this subject as well:

I wish you both well...
