My Life Partner who struggles with Mental Health issues has recently had a huge breakthrough and has significantly improved in his mood and his ability to be in the present moment. I am so happy for him as he has been working feverishly to improve. Does anyone have any advise about how to support him best while he continues to improve?

Hi @janedoe2
It is lovely that your partner has had a breakthrough and significant mood improvement.
Maintaining loving support and our own wellness is vital.
Revisiting the wellness plan often wise - MI is often chronic and cycling in nature. Wellness happens because of ongoing treatment and patients can often stop meds +/- therapy and relapse.
If not already in place, when a patient is well, if not done already, matters like enduring guardianship and preferred treatments can be discussed and if thought appropriate can be enacted.
