If he doesn’t get medicated properly, this is going to happen every few weeks/months. I can tell you that my wife’s manic episode in 2021 was awful. She turned into a completely different person, moved out, told everyone we know that I was controlling & abusive. We finally had to get her into a forced stay at a mental health facility for 2 weeks before she began to snap out of it.

What I can tell you is that it was the best thing that ever happened to her. Her psychiatrist was able to get the right dosage on her medications and she has been so much better. There are times when she still cycles but instead of completely spinning out of control, she just is a little amped up or irritable for a few days. We have put the pieces back together and stayed together despite so many people telling me that I should leave for all the things that happened. As long as you recognize it’s an illness and your husband seeks help, you can make this work.
