Maybe someone here has advice? My husband is manic-depressive. 3 years ago, he was put on medication and it worked great- the violent mood swings and bizarre behavior was gone, and he had his old personality back!
But for some reason starting just a few months ago, he has decided to refuse his medication. He has begun to have bad mood swings and just generally is impossible to talk to or deal with. The way he acts has no rhyme or reason- he is essentially acting "crazy" again.
He's not unbalanced enough to be committed and force- medicated... but his behavior is making it impossible to even to be around him. He isn't a violent person but his behavior now is so erratic that it is really worrying me. If I mention all the problems he (and we) used to have before he started treatment, he tells me he doesn't want to talk about it, or he claims he "doesn't remember".
Does anyone have any idea what I can do? If he keeps refusing we have to split up. I can't live through this again!
