I have been diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder and until I began taking my medication regularly, I had horrific mood swings. Two hospitalizations in the mid-90s and many, many difficulties in my professional life as well as in my familily life essentially proved to me that I had to take my medicine. Yes, there are times that I feel like I don't need it and that's when I need to look at my history and remember that, when off the medication, I was a madman.
Support your spouse, but support needs to be followed up with actions by him, IMHO. My wife, although we are now separated due to my relapsing to pot smoking and other addictions, was there for me. I wish I knew about these boards before...
