How to keep a manic depressive person unaffected from a depressed partner?
Patient: I have a partner who I recently meant who has a drinking problem (former AAA recovered and stared again) who also has been seeing therapist for 20 yrs and suffers from manic depression constantly. They need to be alone daily and seem to deal with past trama from childhood and present . I also suffer from depression, and am wondering what do I need to do to not trigger there mood swings Doctor: hithanks for using healthcare magicI think in ur case best thing is, u know each other problems. First u should help in maintaining the treatment. That would prevent from aggravation of symptoms.  Second try to maintain ur social life. Go for outing on weekend and try to spend time with each other as maximum as possible. Third any time u and ur partner feel comfortable, make physical relationship. try to follow all these stuff. can connect us whenever need help.Thanks
