I read that too on facebook. It gave me an idea of what my husband has been going through. I've only been psychotic twice and both times I was able to keep it under wraps for the most part, but I've been hospitalized due to depression and mixed episodes six times in the last year and a half. So...yeah. It's a good article.

This Echoed what my psyciatrist told my husband about being a "care-taker".
