My husband is diagonised by psycharist with manic-depressive mental illness (Bipolar) but doesnot believe it?

My husband is diagonised by psycharist with manic-depressive mental illness (Bipolar) but he doesnot believe that he has mental illness and doesnot take medications. What will happen if he doesnot take medications at all. We donot have kids. What are the chances of offspring getting this mental illness? Though I love him, I feel on the practical aspect of life it is hard and draining for me.We live in a joint Indian family where even his parents donot understand what he is going through. In such an unsupportive environment, Should I continue my relationship with him or seek a divorce? What should I do? Kindly help.

I can't tell you whether you should stay with your husband or not, but I can point to some resources for help:

This website has information on mental illness: http://www.nami.org/ There is also a number you can call for support. If you're in the US, there is also information about local support groups.

If you have a good relationship with his parents, I would try to help educate them about mental illness. It isn't easy to accept that somebody you love has a mental illness, but your husband needs their support regardless of whether you stay with him.

i have depression as well and what is happening is that his mind is tricking him into believing that he really doesnt have it you need to sit him down look him straight inthe eye and tell him that he has it until he understands
