My husband is terrified that he will wake up one day and find that he's bipolar. I have tried to find info that will allow me to reassure him to just focus on one day at a time, but have to admit it is a little scary to me as well. I understand that depression can cause some 'manic' mood swings, they're always under control and usually he recognizes them and we laugh and say he has pms! He does have a dr, but because he's still technically a 'grad student' the insurance is less than good and he rarely ever sees the same dr, which is very frustrating to me! also, if you could direct me to some truly educational and informative depression websites, perferably for spouses suffering along!! I try to be strong but I often think it's easier for him than me because I have to watch him suffer and myself keep it inside because he can't deal with thinking he's doing this to me. oh and conveniently, my insurance has a 1 year waiting period for mental health coverage...insurance is a great thing huh?!!

Thanks for anything you can offer!
