Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hello @PeppiPatty, over here my special friend xx

Hello Everyone

Love to hear from others on the forum if you experience this

My hubby has been diagnosed with lots of things and has had MI all his life

do you find things goes ok and i start to feel confident and wanting to go forward and then everytime something always happens to upset it -- sometimes I think is it a controlling thing ?? that he wants to be in control ??

Don`t know if I am making this up , but i have that feeling ,

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

@Shaz51 mania = elevated mood when manic patients are hypersexual, do rash things - spend too much, quit jobs, drive dangerously, often cannot sleep, have loads of energy.

@Shaz51
I am completely confused as to why the pdocs prescribe how they do. I have spent hours reading scholarly articles in an endeavor to try and get some minimal understanding of why Mr D has been given the meds he has.
