[quote=Anonymous]+1 to all the PPs. I’d establish if he has bipolar before going through an outpatient program. I believe they can use MRI or ultrasound to look at the brain and determine if that is the case. I would want that objective diagnosis. As a side note-you mentioned that he started having panic attacks around the time his child was born-how old is this child now? Anyway, I do know of both woman and a man (not same couple) whose childs’ births triggered the onset of bipolar disorder and also postpartum psychosis. The PPP never resolved (it normally does, but the people I’ve known have never truly fully recovered) and the BPD escalated over time, compounded by other issues (job loss turned into alcoholism). I hope that is not the case for you but consider them. The stress of job loss would also make it worse.[/quote]
