My boyfriend and I have been living together for two years. I'm trying to find the best way to approach him about getting help. I believe that he is Bipolar. I have worked previously in the Pysch field and am in treatment for major depression, and borderline disorder. I don't want to make him mad, by bringing up the possibility of him being Bipolar??????? HELP!!!

Hello, bugster. Why are you concerned about making him mad? Does he have a difficult time controlling his anger?
You are trying to help someone you care about. Tell him he exhibits symptoms of Bipolar: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bip...6/METHOD=print He may recognize some of the symptoms. Perhaps a referral to a psychiatrist for an evaluation would clear things up? Good luck. |

Hi, Bugster. Like TheByzantine and Rhiannonsmoon say, why has this come about? If his behavior is not good, you need to deal with that and talk to him about it for your own sake. obviously you're seeing something that concerns you. I wouldn't *****-foot around about it, if it affects you and your happiness and safety; just tell him, the X (specific) behavior(s) has to change/go and/or if he would like help perhaps you can suggest where he can get it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
