Bipolar mood disorder - partner

[lyra41]

Hi

Anyone else gotpartner with this disorder?

My dh is 38 and just started with it last year, as a result of taking some medication that didn't suit him (Prozac). Prior to that he'd had no mental health problems at all, so it was quite a shock. I had hoped it was just a one-off, having the psychotic symptoms, and that it wouldn't return as long as he didn't have ad's again, but he recently had a mild relapse, and went "high" again, despite taking lithium.

I mentioned this in passing to fellow mnetters in my antenatal group, but no one said a word, the fear of mental health issues is clearly alive and kicking here in our virtual commumity too...

It would be good to share experiences with another mum if there is anyone out there.
