I have looked up symptoms and from what i can tell He is betwwen a level 3-4. I have tried to explain calmley that I think he made need medication to control his anger. This just makes it worse. He gets very offended and gets even more upset. I love my Husband and I know that the way he is acting is not his fault.My husband used to be very easy to get along with, would make new friends on a daily basis, and sooo funny. I have even spoke with his mother and she agrees he should probably be on medication as well. His symptoms make me depressed and I am now on medication to help me deal with his outbursts. Anyone have any suggestions?
(LEAVING HIM IS NOT AN OPTION)

Oh, and I am not "diagnosing" him. That is my suggestion to him. To seek a physicion that can look further into it. I do not think I am being a BAD wife. I am just really worried about him!!! I am afriad if he does have some kind of mental imbalance, if left untreated, he could start having thoughts of suicide or may hurt someone. This is unlike my husbands normal behavior and it's been going on for about 2 years now. So please don't hate me for being concerned about my hubby.

You would see symptoms more than anyone I suppose as well as his mother, and you would know if the following would even be an option. (no mention of this in your question) But just as a suggestion, have you thought about outside therapy, counseling to eliminate that it could be from other stresses for the abnormal behavior. Those stresses could be internal or external and maybe to try to evaluate the problem from another angle could be productive. If he is adverse to "him" having to go see someone, put it on you and that you need him there for you. Good luck.

First things first try taking him to a doctor who specializes with mental diseases before you know for sure if that is what he has. I currently have Bipolar and had anger outburst but also had moments of sadness thereafter. Which for every one the symptoms are different. But to know for sure get him to professional help and then try to establish how to go about talking to him about being on meds. Not every person needs meds or wants to be on meds so don't push him. I know from experience that not all meds work it took 7 different types of meds to find the right one. So take things slow and try to talk to him about seeking professional help first and then go from there.

Unless you are a qualified medical professional you have no right diagnosing anyone's "illnesses" It could be that he is under a lot of stress (with a wife like you I can understand why and I can understand his anger towards you). IF you truly love him you will BACK OFF and speak with his physician about the problem rather than "looking stuff up" and making unqualified diagnoses.

If anger is his only symptom he may need to be on an antidepressant. Anger can be a symptom of depression and should be checked out by a qualified psychiatrist. There are some excellent meds out there that can help control anger. Zyprexa is one of them.

i am sure that my husband is bipolar as well. one minute he will be sweet and loving and then the smallest thing will set him off. i have been with him for 8 years and i use to have high self esteem and well now i have none. i know what you are going through it can be scary at times and its like i am walking on egg shells not to upset him. i told my husband my thoughts and unlike your husband he agrees but he wont get help. i would try to find out what sets him off and try to make it so that it doesnt happen...i threatened to leave my husband and even though i never could he realized that he had to try to change his anger problems....since then he has been working on it. i hope things work out for you...

It is natural to resent the notion that you are not in control of your thoughts.
Ask him if it is okay for you to make an appointment with a doctor to get a professional opinion on his mental health. If he refuses, then you are stuck with it, since leaving him is not an option.

I think before u try to diagnosis his situation....(unless u are an MD) take him to his own private physician for a professional opinion...and let the doctor decide

Call the hospital and tell them your situation.

go talk with a counsler about his behavior and then tell him what they said and then maybe he will take it alittle more serious.
