[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you PP. All very useful information and matches a lot of my own experience with DW. With one crucial difference. DW is extremely reluctant to admit that there is something potentially wrong with her mental state.

We did try family counseling, but she can manage there to convince the therapist  that it is all "reasonable". She has not been doing well at work, but not doing terribly either -- and the therapists view is that if she truly had bi polar disorder, she would be unable to function at work. My own view is that she uses all her strength to keep herself under control when at work and saves all the "crazy" for just me. As for myself, I have no doubt that she needs help, as I have seen how these moods develop and swing suddenly and how they can burst in a truly volcanic manner (not the way she was before we had DC). I have talked to a couple of pyschiatrists to explain the situation and they both said it was immediately obvious that she needed help and could benefit from medication (said that she possibly had both Axis I and Axis II symptoms) . We are now stuck because 
she will just not go to a shrink (will only see psychologists). And taking medication is completely out as an option -- at least for her.[/quote]
